It is expected to provide all Training modules. The number of activities must be sufficient to provide at least a minimum experience for a trainee to achieve the competencies detailed in section 3. A group of related establishments can be considered a centre and each component considered as a unit contributing one or more modules. The centre must have easy access and close relationships with other relevant specialities such as adolescent gynaecology, cardiology, child and adolescent psychiatry, clinical biochemistry, clinical and molecular genetics, dentistry, gastroenterology, histopathology, immunology, intensive care, metabolic medicine, neonatology, nephrology, neurology, neurosurgery, nuclear medicine, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, paediatric surgery and urology, radiology, respiratory medicine and rheumatology. Demonstration of involvement of other health care professionals who may contribute to the quality of care of patients with endocrine problems is essential for recognition. These will include specialist nurses, clinical psychologist, dietitian/nutritionists, occupational therapist, physiotherapist and social worker. The centre must provide evidence of on-going clinical research. In countries that have approved centres for Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes care then the Full Training Centre must be one of these. The centre will be responsible for regular teaching, such as weekly clinical staff/seminars, and other meetings in radiology, clinical genetics, pathology and the regional/nation. 5.4 Training unit Training Units are institutions that provide training in one or more aspects (Modules). They must provide adequate exposure in the defined area and a teacher who is deemed competent in these areas. When an aspect of training cannot be provided in one centre it will be necessary for the trainee to be taught at another suitable centre by a Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes trainer approved for that purpose.
