Our Medical Advisory Panel (MAP) provides trusted clinical insight and expert guidance to support both our Trustees and operational team. The panel advises on professional enquiries from healthcare practitioners and contributes to the collaborative development and review of our information resources and guidance materials.

The MAP is made up of experienced clinicians from across the UK who share a special interest in Pelvic Radiation Disease (PRD). Their diverse expertise helps ensure that our information is accurate, evidence-based, and aligned with best clinical practice.

Please note: while our Medical Advisory Panel may provide general clinical guidance to support enquiries from healthcare professionals, it cannot offer individual medical advice or respond to personal health enquiries from people living with Pelvic Radiation Disease. If you have concerns about your own health, please speak with your GP or specialist healthcare provider.

Interested in getting involved?

If you’re a healthcare or research professional with an interest in PRD, there are two key ways to get involved:

  • Join our Medical Advisory Panel: We welcome expressions of interest from qualified professionals who would like to contribute their expertise to our clinical guidance and advisory work.
  • Become part of our Community of Practice: Coordinated by our Professional Engagement Coordinator, this collaborative network brings together healthcare and research professionals from a range of disciplines and settings. Through shared learning, peer support, and joint initiatives, members are helping to strengthen PRD services and advance research in this evolving field.
