NJR Steering Committee
(NJRSC)
The NJRSC is designated as an NHS England ‘Committee of Experts’ and our Chair reports directly to the Medical Director for NHS England. The NJRSC is responsible for setting our strategic direction and for overseeing the successful delivery of our work and closely managing the associated budget. The committee also oversees a supporting structure of eight sub-committees, each responsible for a dedicated area of NJR work and ensuring the delivery of work plans and development activities against agreed objectives.
