The Impact

A postal survey was carried out on a random sample of Fellows and Members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the United Kingdom or Eire in order to investigate current Continuing Professional Development (CPD) practice and the impact of resources and funding for CPD. One hundred and thirteen of 264 anonymised questionnaires were returned (43%). Most respondents considered CPD should be mandatory for consultants, for educational supervisors, for eligibility for the Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training and for election to the Fellowship of the College.

Care For Older People

In the developed, as well as developing countries, there is an immediate challenge to ensure an adequate supply of health professionals trained in providing care for older people to meet the needs of increasing numbers. Currently 20% of the population of the United Kingdom (UK) is over 60 – 12 million people. By 2031 this proportion will be nearly a third – 18.6 million people. The largest increases are anticipated among the over-85 age group, from 0.8 million in 1987 to 1.4 million in 2025. In Europe the number of people aged over 80 years will double within the next 25 to 30 years. It is estimated that there will be more than 1.2 billion elderly people in the world by the year 2025 – three-quarters of them living in the developing countries.
