The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) first developed recommendations for a Neonatology specific European training curriculum in 1998, with updates in 2007 and 2021. The aim of these recommendations was to define a common, European standard of training for national educational programmes for Neonatologists. Following the Union of European Medical Specialists' (UEMS) framework of European Training Requirements (ETR), and similar to the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) recommendations, graduates of training programmes conforming to the ETR will be eligible throughout Europe for recognition of equality of training, and with that should be enabled to freedom-of-movement. This concept also accounts for neonatal specialists. We therefore present the pan-European work on the ETR Neonatology in its third iteration (ETR III), summarising the basic requirements for contemporary training programmes, trainers, and training centres in neonatology. We highlight the European School of Neonatology (ESN) as a comprehensive online educational platform which provides the theoretical and practical background to satisfy the ETR-III. Lastly, we introduce the European Board of Neonatal & Child Health Research (EBNCHR) as a committee dedicated to gaining acceptance for the concept of harmonising education and training in Neonatology and recognising Neonatology as a Paediatric subspecialty in every European Union member state. IMPACT: Neonatology currently is not uniformly recognised as a Paediatric subspecialty throughout the 27 European countries. Hence, training in Neonatology formerly followed no commonly agreed standard throughout the European Union (EU). To ensure a minimum standard of care, an agreed minimum standard of training is required. The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) has led on generating an EU-accredited, pan-European Syllabus for Neonatal training in Europe, the European Training Requirements (ETR) in Neonatology (2021). This article presents the ETR Neonatology from commissioning to accreditation and discusses means of how high-grade post-graduate education, aligned with the ETR can be achieved by practitioners.
欧洲儿科学研究学会（ESPR）于1998年首次制定了针对新生儿学的欧洲特定培训课程建议，并于2007年和2021年进行了更新。这些建议的目的是为新生儿科医生的国家教育计划定义一个通用的欧洲培训标准。遵循欧洲医学专家联盟（UEMS）的欧洲培训要求（ETR）框架，并且类似于美国儿科学会（ABP）的建议，符合ETR的培训计划毕业生在整个欧洲将有资格获得培训平等的认可，并因此应能够自由流动。这一概念也适用于新生儿专科医生。因此，我们展示了关于ETR新生儿学的泛欧工作的第三次迭代（ETR III），总结了当代新生儿学培训计划以及培训人员和培训中心的基本要求。我们强调欧洲新生儿学学院（ESN）是一个全面的在线教育平台，它提供了满足ETR-III的理论和实践背景。最后，我们介绍欧洲新生儿与儿童健康研究委员会（EBNCHR），这是一个致力于使新生儿学教育和培训协调统一的概念获得认可，并在每个欧盟成员国将新生儿学认可为儿科学亚专业的委员会。影响：目前在27个欧洲国家中，新生儿学并未被一致认可为儿科学亚专业。因此，以前在整个欧盟，新生儿学培训没有遵循共同认可的标准。为确保最低护理标准，需要一个商定的最低培训标准。欧洲儿科学研究学会（ESPR）牵头制定了一个获得欧盟认可的、泛欧的欧洲新生儿培训大纲，即2021年新生儿学欧洲培训要求（ETR）。本文介绍了从委托制定到认可的ETR新生儿学，并讨论了从业者如何能够实现与ETR一致的高质量研究生教育的方法。
