Joining a SIGN guideline development group PDF (1.22 MB)

Over the coming year we will begin the process of updating a number of our existing guidelines. We will be setting up guideline development groups to review the most recent evidence and make any necessary changes to the guideline and its recommendations.

We would like to hear from you if you have an interest in any of the following areas,

• Breast Cancer
• Prevention of dental caries in children
• Schizophrenia
• Osteoporosis

The updating process takes about 15 months and during that time you will be asked to critically appraise many scientific papers.

If you work for, or with, the NHS in Scotland and are interested in joining any of these groups please contact Gaynor Rattray at gaynor.rattray@nhs.net or call 0131 623 4730 or write to SIGN, Elliott House, 8 -10 Hillside Crescent, Edinburgh, EH7 5EA.

If you are an interested patient please contact the patient involvement officer at sign@sign.ac.uk to find out more about how patients can get involved in guideline development.
