Liaison psychiatry is in a developmental stage in the UK and the opportunity to be trained in this special area at Senior Registrar level is rare. The Wessex Rotation for Senior Registrars is therefore privileged to be able to offer an attachment to Odstock Hospital, Salisbury, where the Spinal and Plastic Regional Units are based. The local psychiatric service offers consultations to both Units, the senior registrar having opted for one session a week with the Burns Unit. He is supervised by the consultant psychiatrist who spends two weekly sessions in liaison with the special Unit.
