About

The East of England AnaestheticS Trainee Research Network 'EASTRN' was established in 2022 with the aim to improve trainee access to large scale, meaningful research and QI projects, and help facilitate work in the 2021 curriculum domain 'Research and Managing Data'.

 

We are members of the national umbrella organisation for anaesthetic trainee research groups RAFT (Research and Audit Federation of trainees) and in addition to running our own projects we will support national collaborative projects.

​

We completed our first regional project 'STORE' in 2023 and participated in the 4th national RAFT research project 'POPPY' in 23-24. We are now looking at recruiting sites for PLAN's REPACC project and other regional projects are in development!​
