BSPED Research Group Member Survey

Dear BSPED members,

You may be aware that the BPSED research group is currently functioning as a paediatric endocrine (not diabetes) SIG (Specialist Interest Group). The research group met in March and May and is planning the best way to progress further. The group has discussed broad aims and objectives and would like to hear views from a wide range of members about the preferred function of this group. The lead for this group will be advertised later once the aims and objectives have been finalised.

To help with this, we are reaching out to you for a short survey that should take less than 2 minutes to populate. Your responses will help inform potential objectives and workstreams for the group.
