Medicina Pediátrica de Urgencias. Anexos ❚ 71 6 • The PEMP is able to critically evaluate evidence and engage in continuous quality improvement in the department for the benefit of patients • The PEMP is able to work alongside EM trained specialists, collaborating to maximise the benefit for all children • As well as providing clinical care, the PEMP is able to act as co-ordinator in the ED during a major incident. C. Training period A clinical training period of full-time employment of 24 months (or equivalent duration of part time training) is considered appropriate. D. Research training Whereas there are no active guidelines at present for prosecution of a research programme within the European Syllabus of tertiary training, research training (clinical or laboratory based) of at least 6 months is recommended . We recognise that not all trainees will want/be able to undertake original research, but feel that all trainees should be able to critically appraise research they encounter and training to do this should be part of their course. These arrangements will need to be negotiated at the national level. E. Requirements for training institutions The recognition of training institutions will ultimately be part of a joint process involving NTAs, EAP-UEMS and EUSEM (Paediatric Section). It is anticipated that the Paediatric Section of EUSEM will act as the agent for EAP-UEMS and CESP in executing this task. A list of the names and characteristics of existing national training centres will be created and held by the Paediatric Section of EUSEM and EAP-UEMS which will oversee quality assurance of the recognised centres at periodic intervals every 5 years
