It is important to us to get the opinions and perspectives of our participants during the development and running of the CSS Biobank research. To help with this, we have set up two Volunteer Advisory Panels (VAPs).
Our VAPs each consist of 12 representative participants from across the UK. The VAP meets with the study team online several times a year and also gives input online. The eVAP volunteers focus on online input. The panels were formed in summer 2021 and member terms are two years.
