The Associate Parliamentary Health Group is proud to benefit from the knowledge and expertise of an enviable board of Advisors.

The Advisory Board is drawn from across the health sector, from bodies and institutions that are actively engaged in formulating and delivering the Government's health programme. In fact, many of them have been and are personally involved in shaping UK health policy at the very highest level. Each advisor shares the conviction that Parliament has a central role to play in health in the UK. 

Members of the Board were instrumental in formulating and realising the vision behind the APHGs creation in 2001 and their tremendous range of expertise has proved a huge asset when making informed decisions since. The Advisory Board plays an active and important role in advising on, and guiding the development of, the future activities of the Group.
