ABOUT US

PenTRAIN is a paediatric trainee-led group which aims to promote research interest and skills among paediatric junior doctors in the South West Peninsula through working collaboratively across the region.

​

We work together on projects which address issues relevant to child health, paediatric medical education and/or paediatric training. Our projects may be multi-centre audit or Quality Improvement projects, or formal research.

​

We aim to:

1. be an accessible gateway into research for paediatric trainees across the Peninsula region

​

2. share and publish high quality research, audit and quality improvement work

​

3. collaborate with other regional and national networks

​

4. signpost educational and training opportunities in research

​

5. organise formal deanery study days for paediatric trainees to build research skills and knowledge
