Dr Charles Roehr leads revision of European Requirements for Training in Neonatology
The European Requirements for Training in Neonatology (ETR Neonatalogy) have been revised under the leadership of Research Fellow Dr Charles Roehr.
Dr Roehr has been President of the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) since 2017.
The document aims to define the minimum requirements for training in neonatal medicine. The revision has updated the existing requirements to adapt to modern-day clinical work patterns and administrative realities.
This training curriculum has been developed to support national training programmes in neonatal medicine, which is one of the Paediatric Specialist training programmes as defined by the European Board of Paediatrics (EBP) and the Union Européenne des Medicins Specialistes (UEMS).
The committee for the update of the European Requirements for Training in Neonatology 2021 consisted of board examined specialists in neonatal medicine with extensive experience at senior staff level, all being experienced neonatal educators with extensive knowledge in policy development and members of the ESPR.
The process of generating the training requirements included adapting existing European policy documents on training requirements, the second edition of the ETR (Version 2007), national European syllabi and also recently-published, by an international collaboration, European Standards of Care for Newborn Health.
There was also consultation with representatives from European national neonatal societies to ensure international applicability. The result is a true Pan-European training syllabus for neonatal training, including suggestions suitable for countries throughout Europe independently of their level of income.
Indeed, recognition & consenting of the updated ETR-Neonatology is a major step forward towards pan-European standardisation of specialist neonatal training! Thanks to the teams @ESPR_EBN #EAP #UEMS for their support! #developingandapplyingresearch https://t.co/K1jgZph55d

The college hosted some very exciting guests last week! @gtc_gcr invited some Alpacas (and a Llama!) to come in for a student wellness event. They were indeed a welcome distraction for all!
