Scotland has a distinguished track record in foundational clinical research. From the completion of the first clinical trial undertaken in scurvy to cloning the world's first whole mammal, Scottish basic and clinical research is world leading. More recently, challenges in access to research skills, funding and programmes by clinical trainees led to the development of alternatives to these typical avenues of accessing research opportunities. Trainee networks evolved to meet the needs of trainees looking to access projects and collaboratives beyond audit and quality improvement commonly performed during structured training. These networks have enjoyed enormous success and have succeeded in progressing projects which have impactful outputs for patients, and improving clinical services. Here, we describe the foundation of the first pan-Scotland physician trainee research network; Scottish Trainees Research In Gastroterology and Hepatology (ScotRIGHT). We outline the foundational efforts, requisites and foundations required to develop a research network.
苏格兰在基础临床研究方面有着卓越的记录。从完成首例关于坏血病的临床试验到克隆出世界上第一只完整的哺乳动物，苏格兰的基础和临床研究处于世界领先水平。最近，临床实习生在获取研究技能、资金和项目方面面临挑战，这促使人们开发出替代这些获取研究机会的典型途径的方法。实习生网络应运而生，以满足那些希望参与除结构化培训期间通常进行的审计和质量改进之外的项目及合作的实习生的需求。这些网络取得了巨大成功，并成功推进了对患者有重大影响的项目，改善了临床服务。在此，我们描述首个全苏格兰医师实习生研究网络——苏格兰胃肠病学和肝病学实习生研究网络（ScotRIGHT）的创立情况。我们概述了建立一个研究网络所需的基础工作、必要条件和基础要素。
