GeM Research West Midlands - Collaborating at the Heart
About GeMRC West Midlands
We are a group of geriatrics trainees working within the West Midlands with a passion for improving the lives of older adults. We realise that the constraints of clinical training can leave limited time for involvement in research projects and the idea of setting up a research project from scratch can be extremely daunting! The aim of our collaborative is to open up research opportunities to more trainees within shorter periods of time. This has the double benefit of conducting more research projects that will have patient benefit within shorter periods of time and offering our trainees valuable research experience.
​
Our projects that are currently open are listed under the projects tab. If you see a project that you would like to get involved in, then please get in touch with your local representative listed below. If you can not see your local representative listed then please get in touch with Carly Welch or Lauren McCluskey, or e-mail us at our generic mailbox. You will need to find consultants locally who are happy to act as PI for each study, but we can talk you through this process!
