The Royal College of Psychiatrists is represented on the National Reference
Group for a current project to develop national occupational standards in
mental health. The project underpins the development of the mental health
workforce in helping to raise standards in mental health and forms part of the
National Service Framework for Mental Health. The standards will involve all
staff groups in mental health and all age ranges. Both health and social care
staff are involved.
The project team are seeking feedback on the standards and also to involve
psychiatrists in the field trials. There will also be web-based consultation
from July 2002 and consultation events in January 2003. The project team would
welcome the involvement of psychiatrists from as many areas and care settings
as possible. If you would like to be involved in the project or to receive
regular information and comment on draft standards please contact, by e-mail,
