Who are we?
The BPNA Trainees' Group comprises middle grades in paediatric neurology, either currently training in the specialty or interested in so doing.
The group communicates by email and is a forum for discussion and dissemination of information regarding training matters and developments in the paediatric neurology, at both national and international level. We contribute to BPNA discussions on the syllabus for training and recommendations for training centres.
 
The BPNA Trainees' meeting is held each year. It is an informal educational meeting attended by trainees of all grades from all around the UK and beyond. 
 
Business Meeting
There is a trainees' business meeting each year at the BPNA annual scientific meeting in January.
