This chapter describes regular daily processes within the inpatient mental health ward that form the backbone of the ward’s functioning and underpin the ability of wards to provide therapeutic and safe environments. Precisely because acute inpatient wards can be unpredictable, with changing circumstances generating unremitting challenges to patients, carers, and staff, these daily processes, such as handover, medication, and mealtimes, are crucial to help create a sense of structure as well as safe clinical care. These processes must be followed if inpatient psychiatric wards are going to be able to provide an environment that allows the development of enabling and therapeutic relationships for patients, carers, and staff themselves.

Objective: This paper provides the rationale for the development of sub-specialty training in youth psychiatry. Method: Training needs for youth psychiatry are discussed and the opportunities provided by sub-specialisation in youth psychiatry are presented. Results: The majority of mental disorders have their onset prior to 25 years. There has been substantial recent growth in services to meet the clinical needs of young people. The development of these services has exposed gaps in current training for psychiatrists, which varies considerably between child and adolescent, and adult psychiatry. Competencies acquired by psychiatrists in youth mental health are non-standardised, which may hinder optimal care. Conclusions: Sub-specialty training in youth psychiatry is needed to meet workforce demands. The development of a certificate in youth psychiatry, by the RANZCP Section for Youth Mental Health, is underway. This will complement existing training and provide trainees and psychiatrists the opportunity to develop specialist skills in the provision of mental health care for young people negotiating the transition between adolescence and adulthood.
