An group of external stakeholders can act as a reliable sounding board providing valuable information regarding a wide array of expertise. At the same time, it can map external challenges for the Euro-NMD Registry Hub project, providing knowledge, network, and support regarding the project’s development and outputs.
For this reason, the Independent Advisory Committee (IAC) is created. The Euro-NMD Registry Hub IAC consists of various experts with experts on data, registries, ethics, regulatory and policy.
The task of the Independent Advisory Committee (IAC) is to evaluate the quality and functionality of the registry over the project’s life cycle. This includes education of the general concept as well as the operational delivery of the registry from the perspective of the end-users: patient, clinician, research and patient communities. IAC Members will monitor the project progress and ultimately its outcomes, to integrate data from different sources for neuromuscular patients and deliver meaningful outcomes for patients, clinicians, and research and patient communities.
The goal of the IAC is to assess the impact of the registry to facilitate clinical and research activity and propose health policy and legislative advancements to guide sustainable development and implementation in and beyond the Rare Neuromuscular European Reference Network.
