Abstract
The Centre Hospitalier Specialise de Ville-Evrard is situated 17 kms from the centre of Paris and serves an area of approximately a quarter of the north-eastern outskirts of the city. I visited as one of a multi-disciplinary party of 20. The visit took place over five days and returned their visit to Bexley Hospital, Kent in South East England, which took place in November 1989. English lessons take place in the hospital as part of the hospital's responsibility for continued education for its employees and they had initiated the visit to England to improve the standard of their English.

The hospital dates from 1868 and at its peak in the 1960s had over 2000 patients, but this number subsequently diminished to approximately 800
Summary
Medical practitioners train for seven years in France and after this they may specialise in psychiatry. This involves working for a further four years as an 'intern' during which time experience is gained in a variety of settings. They do not have large training rotations as seen in the UK. Practitioners will work as assistants for a chefde service who is roughly equivalent to our consultant but with more wide-ranging administrative responsibility and powers. Individuals will decide whether to stay as assistants working full or part-time or to take further examinations to become a chefde service
