Field ERGs consist of national and/or international members with long-standing experience and expertise in a specialty field. Entry is by invitation, either by the Field Editor or the Chair of the Field. The Field ERG is commonly composed of health professionals (including doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals) who have sound experience in a specialty area. They may also be individuals who are not clinicians but are affiliated with a university, or a professional or government health organisation.
