Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body

When new members or chairs are recruited to pay review bodies, Ministers are assisted in their decision making by an Advisory Assessment Panel, set up for each individual recruitment. The Panel includes a departmental official and a member independent of the department and of the body concerned. For competitions recruiting non-chair members, the panel should also include a representative from the public body, normally the chair.

Members of the assessment panel is made public on Cabinet Office’s digital platform for public appointments, through which all roles are advertised and candidates apply. For the NHS Pay Review Body and the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration, a listing of members of the assessment panel is available at the following link:

The recruitment process is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments and is open and transparent, and appointments are made on merit.
