Many psychiatric training schemes hold induction days for their new junior doctors. This practice has now become a College recommendation and has frequently been a mandatory requirement for the approval of training schemes by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (Sims, 1990). Such days often concentrate on orientating the new trainee, looking in particular at facilities rather than the development of skills.
