(3) The Committee for Subspecialty Boards (CSB) has conducted a series of meetings with trainees and fellows
    of our College to collect feedback about paediatric subspecialty development. The meetings were conducted
    as follows:

    1. Open Forum for College Fellows and First Fellows (28th February 2019)
    2. Forum for Chiefs of Service of the paediatric training centres (2nd March 2019)

       First Fellow status (2nd March 2019)
    4. Open Forum for College Trainees and Young Fellows (25th May 2019)

   In addition, a survey on subspecialty development was conducted by the Young Fellows’ Subcommittee to
   collect the views of College Trainees and Young Fellows.

   Several issues were raised and discussed in the meetings and many Trainees and Fellows gave opinions
   regarding the appropriate pace of subspecialty development, the balance between the reality of subspecialty
   services throughout Hong Kong and the needs of trainees undergoing subspecialty training, and the balance
   between general paediatric training versus subspecialty training.

   The CSB and College Council will further discuss the issues raised in the meetings and survey in a retreat to
   take place in June 2019. Trainees and Fellows are most welcome to continue to provide feedback and
   information regarding paediatric subspecialty accreditation and development via the College Secretariat
   (enquiry@paediatrician.org.hk) to Dr CW Chan, Director of Subspecialty Boards and Dr Simon Lam,
   Honorary Secretary of the CSB.
