Kathy Wilkinson is the lead author and project co-lead for the The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcomes for Long Term Ventilation
Hilary Cass leads the CoLab project: Partnership through
paediatric complexity, and is the former President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
