Our SSC includes 11 representatives with relevant expertise and experience, covering academics, methodologists, clinicians, and commissioners. Our SSC is responsible for monitoring project progress against pre-agreed project plans, critically assessing the project’s progress and results, and modifying/authorising changes.
This SSC is specific to the Target Therapies project and is not providing independent oversight across both projects within the Target Trials in Mental Health programme.
SAG Chairs:
Toni Wilkinson, Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust

The SAG will act as an open forum for Talking Therapies service representatives to provide their feedback and thoughts during the projects’ timeline. Representatives include Talking Therapies service delivery team members (e.g., junior/senior therapists), service oversight (e.g., service managers), and NHS commissioners.
This SAG is providing independent oversight across both projects within the Target Trials in Mental Health programme.
Our LEAP is detailed on the Patient and Public Involvement page. Representatives of the LEAP will be also be part of our SSC and SAG.
