NICE seek people with lived experience to join their Quality Standard Advisory Committee.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) are looking for someone with lived experience who loves quality improvement to join their Quality Standards Advisory Committee, as a standing lay member.
NICE are looking for people with a range of lived experience across health, public health and social care, together with an understanding of quality improvement from the perspective of people using these kinds of services.
What does the role involve?
