Mission
To build a credible trainee-led platform for multi-site ENT research, audit, and service evaluation across North London.
About
A trainee-led North London collaborative focused on rigorous, practical ENT research.
INTENT exists to make regional collaboration straightforward: clear study structures, transparent authorship, and opportunities for trainees and clinicians to contribute meaningfully across member hospitals.
Mission
A regional collaborative built for practical study delivery and credible output.
INTENT is intended to be simple to join, rigorous in execution, and clear about recognition for contributors.
Vision
To make collaborative regional research a routine part of ENT training, service improvement, and publication across the network.
Principles
Clear methodology, transparent authorship, operational simplicity, and clinically relevant questions anchored in real regional practice.
Workflow
How the collaborative works in practice.
The delivery model is deliberately simple: clear study question, named site leads, focused collection windows, and transparent recognition.
Propose a study
Generate a clinically relevant question that can be answered across the North London network.
Recruit site leads
Identify collaborators in member hospitals and distribute simple, standardised study packs.
Collect data
Coordinate time-bounded collection using transparent definitions and site communication.
Publish the output
Convert regional delivery into conference abstracts, manuscripts, and service-improvement outputs.

Authorship
Recognition follows transparent collaborative principles.
Projects are intended to support fair recognition for contributors at steering-committee, site-lead, and participant levels.
Steering-group roles, study conception, protocol design, analysis, and manuscript drafting will be recognised according to actual contribution.
Site leads who coordinate delivery and meet study-specific requirements will be acknowledged in line with the collaborative authorship policy.
// TODO: Replace this summary with the final approved authorship and collaboration policy once ratified by the steering committee.
