Precarious contracts are one of the biggest challenges facing our industry as neo-liberal values rule our institutions, impacting our teaching, research, and quality of life.

Part-time training and working have become popular acceptable options for both male and female psychiatrists, regardless of age. There are a number of reasons for this, the most common being family commitments such as those to children or elderly relatives, but also including personal ill health, wanting to reduce stress and prevent burn-out, wanting to pursue different priorities, portfolioworking or simply trying to achieve a better quality of life. The importance of providing flexible working patterns has been emphasised by the Department of Health (1998) in Working Together – Securing a Quality Workforce for the NHS.
