The evolution of ScotRIGHT: The first pan-Scotland physician trainee research network

Victoria EL Moffat, Paul N Brennan, Daniel R Gaya, Peter C Hayes, Shahida Din, and ScotRIGHT

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 Gastroenterology and Hepatology (ScotRIGHT). We outline the foundational efforts, requisites and foundations required to develop a research network.
