East of England AnaestheticS Trainee Research Network

The EoE AnaestheticS Trainee Research Network, or EASTRN, is a newly established trainee research network for Anaesthetic and Intensive Care junior doctors in the East of England.

We hope to provide an opportunity for non-consultant grade doctors to partake in multi-centre audits, quality improvement projects and research. We will be working with other Trainee Research Networks, as part of RAFT (Research and Audit Federation of Trainees), on national research and quality improvement projects.

Our new webpage is EASTRN.org - please visit for further information.

Our mission statement: 

1. To establish an East of England regional network of trainees to conduct multi-centre audits, quality improvement projects and research. 

2. To provide a base for trainees to establish projects whilst moving throughout the region and ensure continuity. 

3. To enable trainees to increase the scale of projects within the region to widen their scope and impact.

4. To improve trainees’ access to meaningful research in line with the 2021 curriculum ‘Research and Managing data’.

5. To collaborate with RAFT (Research and Audit Federation of Trainees) and other TRNs (Trainee Research Networks) in both anaesthetics and other specialities on national projects.

6. To attract local and national funding.

7. To provide research training for the educational benefits of its members.
