Dr Charles Roehr leads revision of European Requirements for Training in Neonatology

Dr Charles Roehr, a Research Fellow of Green Templeton CollegeThe 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.

Dr Charles Roehr is a neonatal intensivist and clinical scientist, Research Fellow Representative on the Governing Body at Green Templeton, and Associate Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford. He works at the John Radcliffe Hospital, NHS Foundation Trust in Oxford, UK. His special interest is neonatal stabilization/ resuscitation and non-invasive respiratory support. Charles is a Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, UK.

🌌 Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.

Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.

The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templeton’s connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
A wonderful evening for the Green Templeton community in Sydney. It is always special to see alumni reconnecting and making new connections wherever they are in the world.

Thank you to Oceania Group and everyone who joined the group’s inaugural annual dinner.

The group’s next gathering takes place in Brisbane on Tuesday 8 September – another welcome opportunity for our alumni and friends in the region to connect.

A great start to what we hope will become a growing tradition for the college's community across Oceania.
