Libro Blanco de las ACES Pediátricas 2024 54 ❚ 2 move towards delivering this curriculum in the interest of training competent practitioners in neonatal medicine and to provide Pan-European consistency. European NTAs may choose to integrate the first of three years of specialist neonatal training into the local core paediatric training curriculum. Composition of the syllabus subcommittee The committee for the update of the European Requirements for Training in Neonatology 2021 consists 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 European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR), as per appointment by the UEMS. The writing group members are the President of the ESPR, Associate Professor Dr Charles C. Roehr (writing group chair), the Chairperson of the European Board of Neonatology (EBN), Professor Dr Maximo Vento, and the EBN Officer of Education and Training, Associate Professor Dr Tomasz Szczapa. Representatives from over thirty European neonatal societies and members of international parent organisations were consulted before the completion of the syllabus. Methodology for generating the training requirements The process of generating the training requirements included the adaptation of existing European policy documents on training requirements, the 2 nd Edition of the European Training Requirements for Training in Neonatology (Version 2007), national European syllabi and also recently-published, by an international collaboration, European Standards of Care for Newborn Health (www.newborn-health-standards.org) . Furthermore, through the initiative of the EBN, consultations among representatives of European national neonatal societies were sought to actively contribute items for inclusion in the syllabus to ensure international applicability. Thus, 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.
