One of our primary goals is to promote high quality research into the health and wellbeing of older people. Encouraging and disseminating research is overseen by our Research and Academic Committee. They develop resources for  researchers and maintain our Research Centres map. We welcome submissions from researchers at all stages of their research career in our campaign to raise the profile of individual researchers. Contact the web editor on editor@bgs.org.uk. We would love to feature you in our gallery of researchers.

The Clinical Research Network is made up of 15 Local Clinical Research Networks that cover the length and breadth of England. These local networks co-ordinate and support the delivery of research across the NHS in England. Please use this link to access the NIHR website.
