Members wanted for new OPSS Register of Child Health Specialists

Applications are open for experts wishing to join the OPSS Register of Specialists.

OPSS has led several product safety awareness campaigns to highlight potential hazards posed to children. To support this work, we need a strong body of paediatric and child health specialists to provide: advice; witness statements; peer review and appraisal of research and incident questions, proposals, and outputs; and other short pieces of research, across our remit and in relation to consumers.

As a member of the Register, your work will contribute directly to ensure the safety of a variety of consumer products that appeal to or pose a hazard in relation to children and babies, benefitting UK consumers and the effective, evidence-based regulation of these products. 

Experts will be selected based on their experience and ability to provide advice, witness statements, peer review and research. 

If you could provide independent expert advice to help ensure the safety of baby and child related products, please read more details about the register and apply to join here.
