Abstract
The Oxford scheme was established in 1971, since when it has developed considerably. The scheme comprises 25 trainees, and placements are arranged on 12 clinical firms or units, of which ten are in Oxford and two outside the city. Rotation takes place at six or twelve-month intervals.
Highlights
It was found necessary to introduce fixed entry points and to agree the duration of training and the leaving date with newly appointed trainees
The scheme was planned initially on a three-year basis, but later it was increased to 3| years to allow time for trainees to acquire the experience necessary to enter lor the MRC Psych and to find a new appointment
It was agreed with the Regional Hospital Board that appointments could extend over three years and that trainees entering as senior house officers could proceed to registrar status if their progress was satis factory
Summary
The accounts which follow, one describing a scheme based on a teaching centre, the other on a non-teaching hospital, have been provided by the clinical tutors concerned, and it is hoped that they will be of interest to tutors and others involved in psychiatric training
