Experts wanted to advise ministers on medicines

Pharmacists and other experts are now being sought to be members of the Commission on Human Medicines, which replaces the Committee on Safety of Medicines and Medicines Commission later this year (PJ, 9 April, p414). The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (PDF 60K) and the NHS Appointments Commission say that suitable candidates will be senior members of relevant professions who are, or have the capacity to be, eminent in their fields.

Applications are also wanted from people willing to be members or chairmen of expert groups that will advise the CHM.
