This article is based on a paper given to a meeting of the Chiltern and Thames Valley Division of the College. It discusses the document provided by the College called ‘The Responsibilities of Consultants in Psychiatry within the National Health Service’.* The need for such a document probably reflects the current uncertainties and anxieties of many consultants and an awareness of their changed role in the health service and in society in general.
