Cluster Leaders

The expert groups have been organised into five clusters for managerial purposes. Cluster leaders provide a direct link to the Core Team for any questions, concerns or requests from the Expert Groups, work with the Expert Groups to address the challenges encountered during the epidemiological reviews, and provide analytic support when needed.
