I appreciate the efforts of Gupta & Gupta (Psychiatric Bulletin, March 2006, 30, 81-84) in highlighting some of the difficulties faced by consultant psychiatrists recruited from India but think that the article could have been complemented by data from a survey of the 84 consultants recruited.

The differences in the working environment in the UK, especially multidisciplinary teamworking and corresponding power differentials, could prove difficult for consultants accustomed to ways of working in India. Apart from mentoring and induction training to tackle these issues at trust level, there is a role for the College Continuing Professional Development Committee to devise specific programmes to address these concerns.
