NIHR Public Health Review Team
We are a team of experts commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to conduct public health evidence reviews. We will work with the NIHR Public Health Research Programme (PHR) to identify gaps in the current knowledge that can be addressed through future research. This will help the NIHR PHR to develop their research and funding priorities.
Our review team includes experts from the Universities of Exeter, Cardiff and Birmingham with different specialisms and skills. We have an outstanding track record of leading and delivering complex systematic reviews in collaboration with a range of policy, practice and patient partners.
The Review Team will serve from 2024 until 2028 (60 months).

- What social characteristics are identified as relevant to participants’ experiences and/or views of peer support and community breastfeeding interventions?
- How are participants’ experiences and/or views of peer support and community breastfeeding interventions influenced by different social characteristics?
