National Joint Registry Board
(NJR Board)
The National Joint Registry Board is designated as an NHS England ‘Committee of Experts’ and our Chair reports directly to the Medical Director for NHS England.
The Board has responsibility for setting our strategic direction through the development of the NJR’s Strategic Plan, alongside oversight for the successful delivery of our annual work plans and their associated budget.
The Board also oversees the supporting structure of our eight committees, each responsible for a dedicated area of the NJR’s work and for ensuring the delivery of work plans and development activities against agreed objectives.
