Clinical studies group

9th – 10th September 2025 RCEM Octavia House, 54 Ayres Street, London, SE1 1EU. View directions to the venue. | Face-to-face event

Previous RCEM Clinical Studies Group meetings led by Professor Jason Smith have focussed around delivering the James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership top 10 Emergency Medicine Priorities. This event will build on these previous events and will have a dual purpose.

Firstly, we aim to take forward a vision of setting up an RCEM Clinical Trials Network which would sit under RCEM and the governance of the Research Committee with the primary aim of facilitating and promoting investigator-initiated, collaborative, multicentre clinical research in emergency medicine in the UK.

Secondly, we aim to choose some important, yet unanswered Emergency Medicine Priorities and use this event as a springboard to take these research questions that are important to patients, forward to be competitive at grant funding stage.

The day is aimed at UK Emergency Medicine researchers, methodologists and clinicians and patients who are interested in the chosen research areas.

Learning objectives:

  • To establish a formal RCEM Clinical Trials Network which would sit under RCEM and the governance of the Research Committee with the aim of facilitating and promoting investigator initiated, collaborative, multi-centre clinical Emergency Medicine research
  • To develop at three yet unanswered Emergency Medicine Priority research questions, and
  • To publicise funded studies that are close to launch

If you would like to present a funded study that is nearing launch on the morning of day 2, or if you have a trial idea related to an Emergency Medicine Priority or an important research question that you would like to present for development at the event, please email Matt Reed at research@rcem.ac.uk.

The day is aimed at UK Emergency Medicine researchers, methodologists and clinicians and patients who are interested in the chosen research areas.

This event is free to attend.
