The GEM-CARN project is predominantly funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund (Round 1) under Research England’s Quality Related strategic funding, and we gratefully acknowledge this support.
This study has recently been launched and is being led by the Centre for Urgent and Emergency Care Research at the University of Sheffield in collaboration with hospitals across the UK. The objectives of the study are to optimise the triage of people using the emergency care system with suspected respiratory infections during a pandemic and to identify the most accurate triage method for predicting severe illness among patients attending the emergency department with suspected respiratory infection.
