The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Evaluation, Trials and Studies programmes fund independent research for health and social care decision makers. They are currently looking for peer reviewers in the field of oral health. The NIHR’s community of reviewers includes academics, clinicians, practitioners, public health professionals, members of the public, patients and carers. Reviewers make a significant contribution to the NHS and public health by shaping research and improving practice.

Members of the Oral Health Group’s Editorial Team are already involved in this important work, which includes reviewing research briefs, proposal and final reports. More details can be found on the NIHR website, and clinicians and academics can register online to join the pool of external reviewers. Members of the public can also become reviewers; more information can be found on the “become a public reviewer” page.
