Abstract

Among other things, good medical practice demands continuation of training at every level of professional life. Post-membership psychiatrists who have started their senior registrar (SR) jobs may face a lack of formal training. In many subspecialities of psychiatry this has been extensively remedied by various training courses and programmes.

Highlights

  • We would like to thank the members of the Newcastle Registrar Rotation who took part in the study, together with Mr Alan Warren and Janssen Ltd for provision of log books

  • The detailed programme for the course was pre pared much before the beginning of each term and needs and expectations of the group were taken into account; the final form was distributed to all consult ants in the psychiatry of mental handicap at NWTRH A for comments and contributions

  • The sessions started with short announcements of congresses, conferences, forth coming events, and news from different journals on subjects pertinent to mental handicap

Summary

Postgraduate training course in the psychiatry of mental handicap

DORAKOHEN,Senior Lecturer/Honorary Consultant in Psychiatry of Mental Handicap, Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, 24 St Dunstans Road, London W68RP. Part of myjob as a senior lecturer at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School has been to start a formal training course for SRs in the psychiatry of mental handicap in the region. The first step was contacting the clinical tutors and the SRs to find out about their needs, wishes, plans and expectations of the course. The detailed programme for the course was pre pared much before the beginning of each term and needs and expectations of the group were taken into account; the final form was distributed to all consult ants in the psychiatry of mental handicap at NWTRH A for comments and contributions
