Publications in the Psychiatric Bulletin have highlighted trainees' interest in part-time training and described different kinds of part-time training, but the feasibility of working as little as four hours a week has not been addressed. I have made unusual use of a Retainer Scheme for Doctors with Domestic Commitments to support part-time psychiatry in a general practice setting. This has proved a useful short-term option for bridging a career gap.
