Adult Psychiatry

Aims and methodThe structure of academic training in psychiatry has changed in recent years and little is known about the trainees currently pursuing this career path. Two surveys were conducted of academic trainees in psychiatry and the heads of departments of psychiatry. These surveys aimed to identify the number of trainees currently in academic training, the nature of their positions and opinions about the current system of training in academic psychiatry.ResultsThere were 165 academic trainees identified, of whom 101 were not currently in academic clinical fellow (ACF) or academic clinical lecturer (ACL) posts. Academic trainees are located in a relatively small number of universities, with a quarter being based at one institution. In total, 60% of the trainees were in general adult psychiatry. Only 4.6% of respondents rated their academic training as excellent and just over half were certain that they wished to pursue an academic career in the future. Various challenges to academic training in psychiatry were identified by both the heads of departments and trainees.Clinical implicationsCurrent difficulties in academic training in psychiatry, such as lack of flexibility of the training pathway, need addressing to ensure the provision of high-quality research and teaching in psychiatry in the future.

The Impact

This paper addresses the work of the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) research community as presented at a series of three UK conferences on Stimulating Manufacturing Excellence in SMEs. An important difficulty that emerges is the problem of the translation of research outputs and business advice into formats that are attractive to SMEs. This is briefly illustrated through the differing perceptions of the business scenario as seen by the SME owner/manager and an external change-agent, condensed into five parameters. The role of policy makers and change-agents and their need for high-quality research are examined, leading to a discussion of the contributions to be expected from, and therefore the implications for, the research community. From this, recommendations are developed for the future direction of SME research.

Abstract Background Surgeons are frequently compared in terms of their publication activity to members of other disciplines who publish in journals with naturally higher impact factors. The time intensity of daily clinical duties in surgery is yet not comparable to that of these competitor disciplines. Purpose Here, we aimed to critically comment on ways for improving the academic productivity of university surgerons. Conclusions To ensure high-quality science in surgery, it is imperative that surgeons actively ask for and generate the time for high-quality research. This necessitates coordinated and combined efforts of leading university surgeons at the political level and effective presentation of the magnificent studies performed by young and talented university surgeons.
