The committee has 12 roles to fill in 2 of its expert groups: the fetal, maternal and child health (FMCH) group and adult reference group (ARG).

These groups help make sure the UK NSC makes high quality recommendations that are based on the best evidence and thinking.

We have extended the closing date for applications from Thursday, 6 April 2023, to Friday, 21 April 2023.
