Respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children. With this first syllabus milestone, the Paediatric HERMES Project looks forward to the development of modern standardised European training for the PRM specialty.

Standardisation of training across Europe, including quality control for all aspects of training combined with robust assessments of competence, will facilitate the free movement of trainees with appropriate language skills between centres and nations in Europe. As PRM continues to develop, the new syllabus will need to be revised regularly.

The Task Force also realises that there is a demand for a definition of training requirements for general paediatricians with a special interest in PRM working in secondary or primary care settings, and will act accordingly. It is hoped that by updating the existing syllabus and responding to the needs of the paediatric respiratory community, the new syllabus will further strengthen paediatric respiratory medicine in Europe.

We look forward to the day when all children with respiratory illnesses benefit from the very best of the specialist knowledge and expertise available in Europe.
