Abstract
Council have given consideration to the organization of rotational training schemes in psychiatry at senior house officer and registrar level and the assessment of trainees. Council are conscious of the wide range of opinion held within the profession about the content of general professional (i.e. pre-MRCPsych) training and the need for any guidance offered to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate a variety of viewpoints. Nonetheless, it is felt that reasonably clear advice can be given about the main components of general professional training. It is hoped that this report will be helpful to psychiatric tutors and others responsible for organizing training schemes. The College has already issued guidance on some of the matters with which this report is concerned in its pamphlet Educational Programmes for Trainees in Psychiatry and in an article entitled ‘Approval Visits: Guidelines on Criteria and Facilities for Training’ (Bulletin, September 1978, pp 158–59).

Summary
DEAR SIR The Gaskell Prize Examination will take place this year in the Department of Psychiatry, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Glossop Road, Sheffield. The written examination will be on Friday afternoon May 15th at 2 p.m.. The clinical examination will be on Saturday morning 16th May. Accommodation at reasonable rates can be arranged for any candidates who wish it. Recent examiners have asked me to point out that the examination is intended to pick out a psychiatrist with a par ticularly high level of clinical knowledge and skills. Entrants should see themselves as active in a broad clinical field and working in a hospital or unit in which there is vigorous thera peutic interaction in the broadest sense. With the examination moving to different centres in the country each year it is hoped that there can be a broad field of well-qualified candidates
