Time commitment

As contributions are mainly carried out online, the time commitment is approximately, on average, a total of 5 hours per month, though maybe more nearer to the publication date.

Attendance at Mortality Research Steering Committee may be required occasionally, to deputise for the Editor.

Tenure

The tenure is 3 years and will be reviewed annually. To provide continuity, it is hoped that members of this committee will be happy to take up a tenure of 3 years. However, tenure is reviewable annually depending on changing circumstances, participation, and performance in PCC matters.
