Recent update of NICE Committee Member list

The committee member list PDF was recently updated (9th May). There are numerous additions from the last copy that I have.

GP - Chris Burton
Dietician - Jenifer McIntosh
Nurse - Caroline Kingdon
Physician - Gabrielle Murphy
Physician - William Weir
Community Paediatrician - Alan Stanton

However, I may have had an outdated copy. Are any of the above recent additions?

 

No. This list has been out for a while, I think.

 

The latest change date is 09 May, so something must have been updated....unless it was something trivial.

 

Maybe the dietitian? But I thought she'd already been announced.

 

From memory, I think there was one post open, possibly the paediatric nurse? The dietician was announced fairly recently.

If they need paediatric input, Dr Speight would be perfect. Obviously he’s not a nurse but his knowledge/ experience of children with ME is great. They have appointed Caroline Kingdon ( after turning her down) so is a nurse essential for this role? I know he was turned down on first application but there is a precedent now for revising their decision.

There is too an increasing interest in FII. Even Mrs May said she would look into the question posed by Carol Monaghan at Prime Minister’s questions several weeks ago.The House was full so it received a lot of attention and I hope it won’t be forgotten despite the European elections.

I am not sure I understand the Committee being underway with their work when, 3/4 months or more in, the full Committee isn’t formed.

The appointments are from memory so I hope I’m correct. If there was an announcement on 9th May- just off to look it up.

 

the PDF was changed on the 9th May. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a new member announcement. Could be something like a member's affiliation being changed.

 

Or maybe they just uploaded the same document again to make sure it was the most recent version?

 

From a quick look at the 9 May upload and the March upload which announced Jennifer McIntosh, there doesn't appear to be any change, including to 'job title/organisation'.
