Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on paediatric surgical training across Europe. Br J Surg. 2022 Nov 22;109(12):1326-1328. doi: 10.1093/bjs/znac306. Erratum in: Br J Surg. 2023 Feb 15;110(3):393http://hdl.handle.net/10668/19707The rapid spread of COVID-19 had a tremendous impact on healthcare systems and the medical community, as resources were diverted towards priority setting. In many specialties, both non-urgent and urgent activities were reduced or postponed1. Although children were marginally affected by the pandemic, paediatric surgical services were significantly affected2. Moreover, the entire medical educational system, and particularly surgical training, was compromised as was the well-being of trainees3. The changes and challenges imposed by the pandemic on trainee education are largely under-reported. This study aimed to assess the effects of the pandemic on paediatric surgical resident activity and training throughout Europe.enPandemicsMentoringResidence CharacteristicsHealth ResourcesChildHumansCOVID-19PandemicsSARS-CoV-2Surveys and QuestionnairesEuroperesearch article36094547Restricted AccessPandemiasTutoríaEducaciónCaracterísticas de la ResidenciaRecursos en Salud10.1093/bjs/znac3061365-2168PMC9494385https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9494385https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9494385/pdf
