Freeman (1992) advocated the setting up of a network of College Research Training Coordinators to provide practical assistance and supervision for trainees engaging in research for the first time. A recent debate held at a College Research Training Coordinators meeting in York under the Chairmanship of Dr Chris Freeman debated the motion “All trainees should undertake research”. This has stimulated us to think again about our own attitudes towards this question.
