As many parts of the world start to establish a ‘new normal’ during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important for all to take time to reflect on what has happened and what the future holds in store for both academic and clinical emergency care. Although for many the focus has been on the fast-evolving pace that healthcare has been forced to adapt to meet the needs of the population, research practice in this area has been required to adapt at a similar speed. Although there have been many exemplifiers of excellent research work undertaken and disseminated throughout the pandemic, it has been a challenging time at the research interface. This has been particularly true for both researchers focused on non-Covid-19 research and research active clinical staff who have redeployed their time to clinical practice. It is important to acknowledge these challenges and consider how these affect the quality and production of new knowledge in a post pandemic world. There is no doubt that Covid-19 has impacted on global research, but these reflections are based on the current challenges that are ongoing currently in the UK.
