Local Specialty Groups

Local Specialty Groups bring together researchers to provide a local focus for activity in that disease area.

PenCLRN consider it important to have representation and membership across all national specialty groups but also recognise locally that specialty groups will have differing levels of activity and opportunity within the region and will require different levels of support. In order to manage this effectively the PenCLRN has introduced a three tier approach to supporting specialty groups.

The attached paper details support at each of the three levels:
