While research is important and dedicated research training (clinical or laboratory based) over 1 to 2 years is desirable in Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes, opportunities to undertake research will depend on local circumstances. Irrespective of whether such dedicated research training is available, a trainee is expected to achieve the following during core clinical training in Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes: • critique research papers and understand the process of peer review of scientific work • understand the basics of how to conduct research, write the research protocol, collect and analyse data, and write the research report • conduct at least one case series or an index case study and present to colleagues • present scholarly work at least once at a national or international conference, and • have at least one peer-reviewed publication under supervision, ideally as first author or authorship demonstrating a significant contribution to the design, execution and analysis of the study as well as drafting or revising the paper. 4.2 Participation in Audit project The trainee should • conduct at least one systematic style review of a topic • conduct at least one audit or quality improvement project • prepare a detailed evidence-based appraisal of a diagnostic test or a therapeutic intervention
