Research and publications

Get it written up. Get it published. Get the credit.

Case reports, letters, reviews, studies and trials: the team, the tasks, the data and the draft in one place. The paper gets finished, even when people rotate.

everyone sees the latest draft, not version 7

Sound familiar?

The case was fascinating. The paper never happened.

Most papers that never get submitted don't fail on the science. They fail on the admin.

Now

  • A group chat called "case report!!" with 400 messages.
  • draft_v7_FINAL_final2.docx on someone's laptop.
  • "Who's second author again?"
  • The first author rotates. The draft goes quiet.
  • Two years later: still "nearly done".

With Prep Medics

  • One place. Tasks, files, discussion and the draft live with the project, not in someone's inbox.
  • Clear jobs. Everyone knows what's theirs and when it's due, and gets a reminder.
  • Agreed authors. The author order is set on the project, in the order you choose.
  • Nothing lost. When someone moves on, the work stays and the next person picks it up.

Every kind of research

From a single case to a multi-site study.

Pick the project type and Prep Medics sets up the tools it needs. Nothing it doesn't.

  • Case reports

    Consent, timeline and draft in one place, so the interesting patient becomes a published paper, not a someday.

  • Letters to the editor

    Move quickly while the article is still news. Share the draft, agree the words, send it.

  • Literature reviews

    Split the search, track who's screening what, and keep every version of the protocol together.

  • Observational studies

    Collect de-identified data in one shared table from any phone, with the right chart suggested.

  • Trials and lab research

    Tasks, milestones and files for the whole team, whoever rotates in or out.

  • Meta-analyses

    Extraction tables everyone can fill, with one version of the truth and a full history.

The keen FY1 down the corridor can finally find you.

Post the roles you need, from a data collector to a statistician. Doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, AHPs and students looking for research see it, matched to their role, and apply in a minute.

  • Applicants answer your questions, so you choose well
  • Partner hospitals and universities can apply too, if you allow it

Credit where it's due

Your name on the paper. And in your portfolio, for good.

Everyone on the project gets an entry in their portfolio: their role, the dates and what it led to. It follows them through every rotation and every hospital, ready for appraisal and revalidation.

How portfolios work

Built for research governance

No patient identifiers. By design.

Prep Medics is for the work around the data, never for patient records. NHS numbers, dates of birth and your own record-number formats are blocked as people type, and checked again in uploaded files.

  • Stored in London

    Your data is stored in London, encrypted at rest and in transit.

  • Private when it needs to be

    Keep a project to its own team until it's ready to share.

  • Every view logged

    See who opened which project and file, for 90 days.

  • Your own sign-in

    Staff use their work accounts. People keep their portfolio when they move on.

Bring the paper you've been meaning to finish.
