Sir: I have had the opportunity, as the specialist registrar representative on a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Special Advisory Sub-Committee team, to visit a different child and adolescent training scheme than my own. This was a very interesting experience both with regard to the process of the visit and seeing how another scheme functions. It also exposed me to new ideas about training. I strongly support the view expressed by Laurence Sheldon (1994) that approval visits should be open for any interested specialist registrar and recommend other trainees to consider offering themselves for approval visits.
