Call for expressions of interest for clinicians and other healthcare professionals to participate in the KCE Trials’ selection process for studies (Panel)
We are seeking to strengthen our pool of external experts who participate in our advisory boards and ultimately help us select the best studies to fund. One of these advisory boards is the KCE Trials Panel, a group of healthcare providers and stakeholders who helps KCE Trials in selecting the research questions that are most relevant to routine clinical practice and the Belgian healthcare system. A KCE Trials Panel is multidisciplinary and includes professionals from different medical fields as well as patients.
The remit of the panel is to answer the following two questions:
- Is the research question relevant for clinical practice in Belgium?
- Is it the right research question (PICO) ?
KCE Trials invites interested clinicians and other healthcare professionals active in Belgium to express their interest in becoming a panel member. Each year, the final composition of the panel depends on the proposals received and the required expertise to evaluate them and therefore cannot be known in advance however a standing ‘long list’ of possible panel members who can be contacted is kept.
All panel members are:
- bound to confidentiality of information,
- requested to declare any conflicts of interest and comply with the COI policy of KCE Trials,
- anonymous to the applicants (only their specialty may be disclosed)
- remunerated for their work and time.
English is the working language.
This expression of interest can be made at any time during the year (the final panel composition takes place in September-October).
