Observers
The RMG may invite external stakeholders, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and representatives from devolved governments, to join the RMG as observers.
Observers help identify and implement screening innovations, with a focus on what is practical and applicable. They are selected based on their position and expertise. These observers create a valuable link between the UK NSC and their own organisations on important work areas.
