East Midlands Paediatric Academic Network
​Updated: 28 October 2026
East Midlands Paediatric academic network was established in 2024. We are a local trainee led research network created to helping trainees across the region gaining experience and knowledge in audit, QI and research. We aim to help trainees connect, collaborate, and thrive in their academic and research journeys.​ Here you’ll find links to education resources and upcoming courses and opportunities related to audit, QI and research.
​
Our future EMPAN goals are to establish individual educational support by setting up a system to answer your questions on audits, QI, and research work and to promote regional projects within the East Midlands. If you’re interested in getting involved or want to find out more please get in touch using the email below.
