Integrating Neuroscience Into Psychiatric Training in the United Kingdom: the Royal College of Psychiatrists Gatsby/Wellcome Neuroscience Project

Reasons are presented for believing that the skill of formulation is inadequately covered in textbooks. A survey was made of 57 psychiatric training centres in Canada, the U.S.A and the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (in which 1324 doctors are trained). Of North American respondents only a minority give written guidelines about how a formulation should be undertaken. In the United Kingdom and Ireland 55% issue written guidelines. Only 31% of all centres polled give references on the topic. The results are discussed and a brief schema to help trainees formulate cases is proposed.

Training Standards

An increasing number of medical and surgical specialties are undertaking their own ultrasound scans. This brings challenges to those wishing to perform ultrasound to ensure that they are competent and for those who provide training to be adequately resourced to do this. In the United Kingdom it is proposed that ultrasound training becomes an integral part of the Urology Specialist Registrar (SpR) training programme. The European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) have defined three levels of minimum training standards and this concept has been embraced by the Royal College of Radiologists in a publication which outlines recommended syllabuses for 10 difference specialties.
