Summary A survey was undertaken to investigate aspects of research work undertaken by junior anaesthetists. Two hundred and ninety‐five junior anaesthetists were surveyed. Forty‐seven percent of respondents were involved actively in research activities at the time of the survey, although 57% of senior house officers and registrars and 30% of senior registrars would not attempt to acquire publications except to improve their curriculum vitae. Few had received any formal training in research methods. The significance of these findings is discussed with regard to current training opportunities.
