Psychiatric training revisited — better, worse or the same?

Joe Herzberg, Associate Dean of Postgraduate Medicine

(north-east London)

Elisabeth Paice, Dean Director

Thames Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education (now London Department of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education), 20 Guilford Street, London WC1N 1DZ

AIMS AND METHOD

To evaluate psychiatric training in one deanery following a programme of site visits, interviews with trainers and trainees, reports, and recommendations. To assess the findings in the context of NHS training requirements. Information was collected by semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys.

RESULTS

Forty-three sites were visited, training is generally of a high standard and most trainees are satisfied with their posts. There are significant problems in delivering sufficient community experience to general practice trainees and deficits in availability of multi-professional training programmes.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

College tutors should work to ensure that trainees have access to shared learning occasions with non-medical health professionals to meet the NHS training agenda.
