Key Stages in the Development and Establishment of Paediatric Endocrinology : A Template for Future Progress
© 2023 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel..
BACKGROUND: Paediatric endocrinology became recognised in Western European countries in the 1960s and 1970s. It is now a thriving paediatric sub-speciality in many countries but remains non-existent or in its infancy in others. We have had the privilege to work in Western centres of excellence, and this review outlines the key stages in the development of modern centres, discussing the human and organisational issues that have underpinned progress in the establishment of this paediatric sub-speciality.
SUMMARY: Human determination, vision, and ambition to create a modern centre and become a national flag bearer in the field are key components of success. The realisation that learning by spending time as a fellow away from one's home institution, so that knowledge can be acquired and brought back home, is also a key factor. Career structures should be designed to mentor and guide the trainee returning from a fellowship abroad. Scientific societies such as the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) are key resources for networking, support, and discussion with experienced colleagues who may have faced similar challenges. Training and acquisition of knowledge through on-site or e-learning initiatives are beneficial and numerous examples exist, including the telemedicine model of store-and-forward consultations. Leadership skills can be learnt, and good working relationships with adult endocrinology colleagues result in benefits and political support.
KEY MESSAGES: The development of paediatric endocrinology in a region with hitherto no such facilities constitutes a major contribution to local, regional, and, in all likelihood, national patient care.
