As a commissioner, you will be required to possess or develop a working knowledge and understanding of the UK medicines regulatory procedures. You will draw on your individual expertise and judgement for all agenda items and assist the CHM to provide advice to Ministers. We are looking for skilled communicators with the ability to assimilate complex scientific information at short notice and take account of a wider view of risk and benefit, particularly as it is perceived by patients, carers, and other members of the public.

The Commission on Human Medicines is an Advisory Non-Departmental Public Body, set up in law to advise UK Health Ministers on the safety, quality, and efficacy of medicines for human use and to promote the collection and investigation of adverse drug reactions.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) seeks independent advice from the CHM to ensure its scientific judgements are robust and informed by clinical practice. It is primarily a multidisciplinary scientific advisory committee comprised of experts from medical, pharmaceutical, and related scientific disciplines and includes lay/patient representatives.
