Overview

Our Trainee Research Network (TRN) aims to increase opportunities for residents to carry out child health research and to provide peer support and guidance. 

We support regional paediatric trainee research networks. We facilitate opportunities for networking and collaborative working, and support trainees to develop research skills through education, training and sharing research opportunities. 

Programme

The theme of the conference is ‘Building Capacity: Past, Present and Future’.

Sessions will include plenary talks, workshops, short talks, panel discussions and abstract presentations focusing on three key areas: 

  1. Getting started and progressing in research: Exploring how to access research opportunities, navigate different research pathways and develop as a researcher at various career stages
  2.  Building research skills and outcomes: Covering the practical skills needed to design, evaluate, deliver, and publish high quality research
  3. Research in practice and collaboration: Focusing on how research can be integrated into clinical practice, supported through research networks, and strengthened through collaboration and shared learning

Abstracts

Abstract submissions for the National Conference will open towards the end of February and close towards the end of March 2026. We'll publish more details and guidance on this page soon.
