Thank you for registering your interest in becoming a peer reviewer for AIMS.
AIMS books and Birth Information pages have long benefitted from our process of ‘peer review’, with a mix of expert and lay readers providing critical comments and suggestions. These Peer Reviewers play a vital role in assuring the quality and fitness for purpose of all our published material.
We are developing a register of people who would be willing to volunteer to do this from time to time for new books and Birth Information webpages. If you are not in a position to volunteer for AIMS on a regular basis, this is a great way of supporting our work - as well as giving you a sneak preview of new AIMS material. You can decide how much you do, depending on your time availability and interests.
We are particularly keen to hear from people with research knowledge, understanding of statistics, and/or specialist knowledge of a topic, but it’s also really helpful to have people who can comment from the perspective of our main audience - individual maternity service users and their families.
You will need to attend a short training session, and make sure that you are familiar with AIMS policies, position papers and language guidance. You will also need to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
