National Joint Registry Board (NJRB) – Patient Representative Member

National Joint Registry Board (NJRB) – Patient Representative Member

Do you have lived or indirect lived experience of joint replacement surgery and also direct links with one or more of the patient support groups/ organisations with an interest in people who may have had joint replacement surgery? If so, you may be interested in applying to be a patient representative on the National Joint Registry’s (NJR) Board. One of NJR’s two patient representatives has recently stepped down from her role after contributing the patient voice for a number of years, so they are now looking to recruit a new patient representative on the Board. Patient representatives have always been a vital link in ensuring that NJR decision-making and activity prioritisation are focused upon the best interests of the patient.

You can find out more about the NJR Board and its membership here.

The NJR logo strapline: ‘working for patients, committed to excellence’, defines the purpose of the registry. NJR data are used to drive quality improvement amongst clinicians, hospitals and manufacturers of implants, with a key focus on patient safety, improving clinical standards and ensuring the quality and value of joint replacement surgery, to ultimately enable best outcomes for patients.

This role also involves co-chairing the NJR Patient Network. The expectation is that the involvement around this role equates to around two hours a week, for which this is renumerated.

You can find out more about the patient voice in our work and the Patient Network here.
