Medicine Research Collaborative (GeMRC)</h2> <p class="larger-text">The <a href="https://www.gemresearchuk.com/" rel="nofollow">Geriatric Medicine Research Collaborative (GeMRC)</a> is a trainee led research network. The aim of the collaborative is to produce high quality, multi-centre research and create opportunities for non-researchers to engage with research in older people. Whilst it is aimed at Geriatric Medicine trainees anyone can be involved. All contributors are listed in the authorship of each output. </p> <p>GeMRC is a national network but has previously expanded to include international colleagues for a project investigating point of care predictors of poor outcome in COVID-19. Other <a href="https://www.gemresearchuk.com/current-projects" rel="nofollow">recent projects </a>have included an investigation of delirium screening and recognition in acute hospitals and an audit of the success of fast-track discharge. GeMRC has successfully published to date eight papers in high impact journals. </p> <p>The latest project is FORCE:SEE – an investigation in to frailty and outcome measures in clinical environments. This is different from previous projects as it is the first project to be conducted as a research study and not as either an audit or QIP as previous projects were. </p> <p>There are many different opportunities to get involved with GeMRC from data collection to steering committee member to site lead. None of the roles require prior experience, a specific grade or even being a doctor. There is plenty of guidance for everyone involved and is a great first step into research and making a difference to patient care.
