Abstract

The closure of large mental hospitals, the move of services into the community and the formation of multi-district rotations have led to a dispersal of trainees onto many sites. This paper seeks to raise awareness of the problems faced by trainees working and training on disposed sites and suggests some solutions. It is the product of discussions within the Collegiate Trainees Committee, the Education Committee and the Psychiatric Tutors Sub-committee.
