Delphi study
Delphi study: Establishing the Research Priorities of Paediatric Emergency Medicine Clinicians in Australia and New Zealand.
Resources for research are limited making prioritization and collaboration pivotal in determining the areas where research efforts are best focused in the future. The primary objective of this study is to identify the research priorities of Paediatric Emergency specialists working in Australia and New Zealand, so that these can be progressed to guide further research opportunities in the ED setting across Australia and New Zealand. Using a two stage Delphi method, Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) Consultants and Advanced PEM trainees will be invited to take part in two online surveys to identify research opportunities and come to consensus about the key priorities in this field.
