Psychiatry is a speciality where part-time work is feasible and the Royal College of Psychiatrists is sympathetic to the needs of those who wish to train on a part-time basis. Fulltime work and training schemes are still the norm however, and gaining information about the options for part-time training, or the numbers of people involved, can be difficult. Recent surveys suggest that between a sixth and a quarter of psychiatric trainees would like to work part-time at some stage in their training—although the majority are women, some men also would value the opportunity.
