Louis Evans was our first elective medical student. He obtained funding from the British Geriatric Society and the Renal Association. His attachment consisted of a research project on eGFR. This was combined with surgical experience in Cardiff, Glasgow and Ghent.
Aimee Browning worked with us for 6 weeks over the summer holidays. During this time she worked on the 2017 application for our research into Sarcopenia and Metabolomics. She also helped write a paper on anticholinergic burden.
Andrew Ablett received a Vacation scholarship from Medical Research Scotland for £2000 over 8 weeks. His project is focusing on the outcomes of older people in an acute surgical setting with a low MoCA score
