BGS Research and Academic Development Committee (RADC)

The Research and Academic Development Committee (RADC) plays a vital role within the British Geriatrics Society, leading its work to promote research into ageing and older people’s healthcare, and the application of evidence to clinical practice across the continuum of care.

The BGS aims to strengthen research opportunities, skills and impact through its research community and through the reputation and reach of its academic journal, Age and Ageing. The RADC sets and delivers a workplan in line with the BGS’s Strategic Plan and its overall mission of improving healthcare for older people. Responsibilities for different parts of the workplan are shared out between Committee members according to interest and experience.
