Abstract

Some form of medical training accreditation is used in over 110 countries worldwide [1 ]. Although accreditation criteria and processes vary considerably depending on regional medical training structures and national regulations, various studies suggest that the accreditation of training programmes has a positive impact on trainees' performance in assessments [2, 3 ]. Thus, accreditation is an important tool for promoting high-quality training and medical care. HERMES: European accreditation of training centres in paediatric respiratory medicine http://ow.ly/ZBmUg
