About
The aim of Gloucestershire Evidence & Research Repository (GERR) is to capture, collate, make visible and discoverable, research published by staff within the Gloucestershire Integrated Care System (GICS). As a result, this will showcase research conducted, promote future research and connect colleagues across GICS and with other professionals within health and social care.
This is a collaborative project led by
- Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (GICB)
- Library & Knowledge Services (LKS), Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Currently items are identified for inclusion by the LKS team, however if you would like your publication to be included please contact
