The Approval Exercise in which psychiatric hospitals and units are approved for general professional training has recently completed the first round of visits to general psychiatric units. The present phase includes a continuing review of both fully and provisionally approved hospitals and first visits to subspecialty units in mental handicap, child and adolescent psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. The announcement of an impending visit is likely to engender apprehension rather than a feeling of empathy with the task of the Convenor and his panel, but a description of the Convenor's role should dispel any misconception that it consists of a frolicsome succession of expense-accounted jaunts.

Regional Authorities

Bids for new posts for 1982–83 will be decided by Regional Authorities on the advice of Regional Manpower Committees within the next few months on the basis of guidelines formulated and issued by the DHSS. There seems little likelihood that cash limits will be significantly eased by 1982–83, and the case for psychiatry will have to be argued in face of a greater degree of consultant expansion to be allowed in the support specialties—e.g., anaesthetics, radiology, and unlimited expansion, as far as central approval is concerned, in general medicine, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynaecology. It may be expected that the non-metropolitan Regions will be better placed financially to meet consultant expansion, so that while on average two to three adult mental illness consultant posts will be permitted in each Region, Regions with resources may be encouraged to bid above this average, as preference will normally be given to Regions with the lowest ratio of establishment to population. The same principle would apply in child and adolescent psychiatry where on average one post per Region may be allowed. Only two new consultant posts in mental handicap will be created in the year in England and Wales. Applications for forensic psychiatry posts for regional secure units will be treated sympathetically, and, while there is no limit proposed for psychotherapy posts, the small number of senior registrars who will have completed training suggests that few bids are anticipated for this specialty.

Registrar Training

The aim of this paper is to continue a dialogue regarding the possible future use of log-books during training. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has been considering their use at various stages of training in psychiatry. Cole & Scott (1991) rejected log-books as a tool for self-audit during registrar training because they were often not kept up to date. The situation in higher professional training is more complex; there is not the clear focus of studying for the Membership examination and there are many more training components to cover during a four year period. Thus, we feel that a system for self-audit and monitoring could well prove valuable at the senior registrar level. There is a tension for senior registrars with whom we discussed this issue at the last Annual Meeting of the Section and among colleagues on our rotation.

Introduction: Child and Adolescent Forensic Psychiatry involves a multidisciplinary assessment at the courts’ requested to assist them in the process of justice delivery.Material and Methods: Retrospective study which included 233 forensic requests to two child and adolescent psychiatrists from Coimbra’s HP-CHUC Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department between 1998 and 2012.Results: Biographic, psychopathology, social and family aspects were analyzed. The response time throughout the process, the origin and nature of the request’s and the type of process which originated the request were also assessed. The authors identified the involved professionals and whether they needed to go to court. When there were questions, they evaluated the capacity to answer them, the forensic difficulties and solutions found, and the presence of recommendations.Discussion: The obtained results met the clinical experience and literature regarding demography and psychopathology. As for the difficulties, there were a number of aspects which could be improved by both parts, aiming to ameliorate the articulation between Health and Justice.Conclusion: With this study it was possible to reflect on the authors forensic practice, in order to develop a closer partnership with the courts to promote the real ‘best interests’ of children/adolescents and their families.

Aims and methodTo carry out a survey to ascertain the role of academic clinical fellowship posts within the integrated academic training programme for academic training in child and adolescent psychiatry. Questionnaires were sent to UK academic child psychiatric units.ResultsA total of 18 units returned questionnaires; this identified eight university lecturers and two academic clinical fellows in post.Clinical implicationsIntegrated academic training pathways seem unlikely to contribute substantially to academic training and to maintaining the pool of academic clinicians in child and adolescent psychiatry. It may need reappraising with regard to psychiatric specialties.

The proposal that management training should be integral to the training of all doctors, including psychiatrists, is not new (Gadd, 1990). The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist Advisory Sub-Committee (CAPSAC) training guidelines (1999) recognise that future consultants will need sufficient management skills to be leaders in service development as well as effective clinicians, and outline the knowledge and experience to be gained during higher professional training (Box 1). This paper describes the Yorkshire scheme's approach to supporting trainees to achieve these objectives and highlights the need to engage trainees, trainers and managers in taking forward this important agenda.

IntroductionThe recent reforms of mental health legislation occurred in most European countries, together with the continuous advances of technologies and the development of research in all the domains of psychiatry have deeply modified the role of mental health professionals with consequent changes in training needs for early career psychiatrists. The competencies required to psychiatrists today include not only the knowledge of the advances in neuroscience, psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and social psychiatry, but also the ability to understand the different clinical and social needs of the patients. Young psychiatrists report a gap between their knowledge and the skills required during the first years of their job.AimsThe European Psychiatric Association-Early Career Psychiatrists Committee, in cooperation with the European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees, conducted a survey among European young psychiatrists and psychiatric trainees, aimed at evaluating difficulties and perspectives related to psychiatric training residency.Methods86 respondents completed the Psychiatric Training Questionnaire, a multiple-choice and self-reported questionnaire, which evaluates: 1) satisfaction with training received; 2) self-confidence in theoretical and practical skills included in psychiatric training curriculum; 3) educational opportunities received during training.ResultsRespondents were almost equally split between trainees (54%) and young psychiatrists (46%). Seventy per cent of them were completely or partially satisfied with training received. Early Career Psychiatrists reported higher levels of self-confidence in clinical psychiatry (98%), psychopharmacology (69%) and emergency psychiatry (61%), whereas the most problematic areas were forensic psychiatry (64%) psychotherapy (61%) and child and adolescent psychiatry (57%). 41% of respondents was not assigned a tutor for clinical activities, 73% of them could not rely on a dedicated supervisor for training in psychotherapy and 58% had not the possibility to use a log-book to record the competencies acquired during training. Only 37% participated in exchange programs; all early career psychiatrists who had this opportunity found this experience very useful for their professional growth.ConclusionsStandards of training in psychiatry in Europe are generally satisfactory. However, our results highlight the need to:1)upgrade training in some areas, such as psychotherapy, forensic psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry;2)guarantee an adequate clinical supervision;3)spread the use of log-book;4)improve the opportunities for exchange programs.
