Joining the research committee
Do you like to think and talk about research in DDP? Have an enthusiasm and passion for bringing evidence based practice to the work of DDP? Would like to have a role in advocating and supporting research on behalf of the DDPI? Then get in touch!
We would like to have more members on the Research Committee and are particularly keen to increase the diversity of our membership. We are an enthusiastic group and being a researcher is not mandatory. It is a voluntary role and as a minimum involves attending four meetings a year. There may be some scope to support research projects outside of this time.
If this appeals then please be in touch with the Research Committee Chair below.
