Abstract
Trainee-led Research Networks (TRNs) can mitigate against the lack of in-training academic opportunities by offering research experience, support and shared learning for paediatricians. The London Research, Evaluation and Audit for Child Health (REACH) Network, founded in 2021, has grown to involve a diverse group of 190 volunteer members at 28 London hospitals. Planning and delivery of a range of multisite projects bring not only many challenges but also a wealth of learning opportunities relating to research and quality improvement as well as leadership, management, education and fostering an accessible and equitable research culture. TRNs are an effective and valuable tool in improving the experience of trainees.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Disease in Childhood is an international peer review journal that aims to keep paediatricians and others up to date with advances in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases as well as advocacy issues such as child protection. It focuses on all aspects of child health and disease from the perinatal period (in the Fetal and Neonatal edition) through to adolescence. ADC includes original research reports, commentaries, reviews of clinical and policy issues, and evidence reports. Areas covered include: community child health, public health, epidemiology, acute paediatrics, advocacy, and ethics.
