And Training

In 1965 the Education Committee drew up a questionnaire on postgraduate training which was circulated to recognized psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric units in general hospitab. The results have been published in this Journal (November 1968, 114, 1441). The Committee recognized that this method of inquiry was by no means ideal, and in order to provide confirmatory information another questionnaire on postgraduate experience and training was circulated to a group of consultant psychiatrists in the United Kingdom. This group comprised all those who were appointed as consultants in adult psychiatry (including psychotherapy) by public appointment (i.e. not personally upgraded) for the first time between 1 October 1963 and 30 September 1966, and who had six or more N.H.S. sessions. A list of all those consultants who were thought to fall into this group was compiled with the help of Regional Hospital Boards and the Ministry of Health, and 191 questionnaires were sent out, with a request that the form be returned uncompleted if the individual had been wrongly assigned.

Case Basis

The aim of this study was to explore how paediatric occupational therapists provide intervention for children with cerebral palsy in the United Kingdom. A survey design was used with a sample of 120 paediatric occupational therapists. The results of this study were representational of practice among members of the National Association of Paediatric Occupational Therapists. It was found that 91.7% of occupational therapists in this study used an eclectic treatment approach. Treatment was usually provided on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the individual needs of the child, and family-centred functional therapy was valued. Postgraduate training in the areas of neurodevelopmental treatment and sensory integration is recommended in a continuing capacity if therapists choose to use these frames of reference to guide treatment for children with cerebral palsy.

Background: The SingHealth Anaesthesiology Residency Programme (SHARP) is a 5-year postgraduate training programme in Singapore. Since its inauguration in 2011, SHARP has taken in the largest number of anaesthesia residents in Singapore. However, we noticed significant attrition over the years. As attrition is a costly and disruptive affair, both to the individual and the programme, we seek to investigate the prevalence of and reasons for separation, in order to determine ways to minimize attrition. Methods: An online anonymous survey was conducted among all residents who have separated from SHARP. The questionnaire comprised questions regarding demographic data, reasons behind separation, obstacles faced during residency, and potential ways to reduce attrition. Results: From 2011 to 2018, 22 out of 127 residents have separated from the programme, giving an overall attrition prevalence of 17%. Nineteen (86%) of the separated residents responded to our questionnaire. The most common reason for separation was due to difficulties in juggling childcare and training commitments. Of the residents who have separated, more than half of them would consider rejoining the programme if a less than full time (LTFT) option was available. Conclusion: One out of every six residents in the SHARP quits residency training. The reasons behind separation are often varied due to each resident’s unique social circumstances. An individualized training programme with a LTFT option that allows for flexibility may boost retention in the programme.

This scheme, now in its third year of operation, is designed to bring to Great Britain every year thirty-eight Canadian graduates in engineering for post-graduate studies. The Fellowships have a duration of two years and are tenable in industry, in universities, or partly in each of these. The author has been connected with the scheme from its inception; he assists in the selection of the graduates in Canada and arranges for their location and training in the United Kingdom. The paper describes in some detail the origin, purpose, and operation of the scheme and raises many issues of interest and importance. The author also gives summaries of the reactions of Athlone Fellows who are now receiving postgraduate training in Great Britain. The purpose of the paper is twofold: to give information concerning a new and important system of Fellowships, and to evoke constructive criticism from professional engineers of its objects and operation.

A questionnaire on postgraduate teaching and training facilities was prepared and circulated by the Education Committee late in 1965, and, after approval by Council, the report on this survey has been published (R.M.P.A., 1968). To find out what changes in teaching and training facilities had taken place in up to 21/2 years, a second questionnaire was circulated to all psychiatric hospitals in the United Kingdom approved by the Conjoint Board as providing training for the D.P.M. The second questionnaire was shorter and simpler than the first, some questions of doubtful value being eliminated and others re-phrased to make them less ambiguous.

The Clinical Tutors' Sub-Committee has received a number of requests for guidance about the accommodation which should be provided for medical staff in psychiatric hospitals and units. It is hoped that the following guidelines will help clinical tutors and others who are planning new psychiatric units or trying to improve facilities within existing buildings, and that it will be useful to College Approval Teams in considering whether accommodation provided for postgraduate training is adequate.

First Time

The nineteenth century introduced developments in science and medicine that made the eradication of pain conceivable for the first time. This new understanding of pain brought with it a complex set of moral and philosophical dilemmas. If pain serves no obvious purpose, how do we reconcile its existence with a well-ordered universe? Examining how writers of the day engaged with such questions, this book offers a compelling new literary and philosophical history of modern pain. The book provides close readings of novelists Charlotte Brontë and Thomas Hardy and political and natural philosophers John Stuart Mill, Harriet Martineau, and Charles Darwin, as well as a variety of medical, scientific, and popular writers of the Victorian age. The book explores how discussions of pain served as investigations into the status of persons and the nature and parameters of social life. No longer conceivable as divine trial or punishment, pain in the nineteenth century came to seem instead like a historical accident suggesting little or nothing about the individual who suffers. A landmark study of Victorian literature and the history of pain, the book shows how these writers came to see pain as a social as well as a personal problem. Rather than simply self-evident to the sufferer and unknowable to anyone else, pain was also understood to be produced between persons—and even, perhaps, by the fictions they read.

And Training

Today, worldview, spiritual and moral problems that have always been reflected in education and upbringing come to the fore in society. In this situation, there is a demand for philosophical categories. One of the priority goals of education in modern conditions is the formation of a reasonable, reflexive person who is able to analyze their actions and the actions of other people. Modern science is characterized by an understanding of the absolute value and significance of childhood in the development of the individual, which implies the need for its multilateral study. In the conditions of democratization of all spheres of life, the child ceases to be a passive object of education and training, and becomes an active carrier of their own meanings of being and the subject of world creation. One of the realities of childhood is philosophizing, so it is extremely timely to address the identification of its place and role in the world of childhood. Children's philosophizing is extremely poorly studied, although the need for its analysis is becoming more obvious. Children's philosophizing is one of the forms of philosophical reflection, which has its own qualitative specificity, on the one hand, and commonality with all other forms of philosophizing, on the other. The social relevance of the proposed research lies in the fact that children's philosophizing can be considered as an intellectual indicator of a child's socialization, since the process of reflection involves the adoption and development of culture. Modern society, in contrast to the traditional one, is ready to "accept" a philosophizing child, which means that it is necessary to determine the main characteristics and conditions of children's philosophizing.

The Relationship

Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual. The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany. Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the case for more expansion. He covers controversial issues in which he was involved from access for disadvantaged students to the introduction of L9,000 fees. The final section addresses some of the big questions for the future, such as the the relationship between universities and business, especially in promoting innovation.. He argues that the two great contemporary trends of globalisation and technological innovation will both change the university significantly. This is an authoritative account of English universities setting them for the first time in their new legal and regulatory framework.

The Ideal

This chapter presents a reading of Plato’s Republic. The Republic is among Plato’s most complex works. From its title, the first-time reader will expect a dialogue about political theory, yet the work starts from the perspective of the individual, coming to focus on the question of how, if at all, justice contributes to an agent’s happiness. Only after this question has been fully set out does the work evolve into an investigation of politics—of the ideal state and of the institutions that sustain it, especially those having to do with education. But the interest in individual justice and happiness is never left behind. Rather, the work weaves in and out of the two perspectives, individual and political, right through to its conclusion. All this may leave one wondering about the unity of the work. The chapter shows that, despite the enormous range of topics discussed, the Republic fits together as a coherent whole.
