I want to thank Dr Lucas (Psychiatric Bulletin, March 2003, 27, 115) for taking the initiative to voice Senior House

Officers' views. As an overseas trainee, I would like to draw the College's attention to one more point. There is enough anxiety about the MRCpsych exam and one could do without additional worry about visa applications to go to Ireland for the clinicals. It puts you under great pressure while you make travel arrangements within a 2-week period before the clinical exam and wait for the visa to arrive ‘in time’. This may not be a common occurrence, and is a problem only for overseas trainees.
