The Association of European Psychiatrists’ programme of itinerant CME courses

According to the most recent data provided by the World Health Organization (2001), there are presently in Europe more than 77 000 psychiatrists, more than 46 000 clinical psychologists active in the mental health field, more than 285 000 psychiatric nurses, and more than 91 000 social workers operating in the mental health sector. Are these professionals being adequately updated on recent clinical and service developments in mental health? What is the role of international channels (in particular, those of international professional associations) in this process? These are difficult questions to answer, in the absence of a European systematic survey (which, of course, would be a very worthwhile initiative). I try, however, to provide here a framework for a discussion of these issues, as a background to the presentation of the programme of itinerant educational courses run by the Association of European Psychiatrists (AEP).

The Fourth European Trainees Forum

The Fourth European Trainees Forum met In Lisbon in April 1996. Twenty-six delegates from 14 countries came together to discuss psychiatric training in the European context. New to the Forum was Austria, with the result that now all the countries of the European Union training psychiatrists are members of the Forum, with Norway and Switzerland present as well. The meeting began with a morning conference for Portuguese trainees on The identity of the psychiatrist in the 21st century', followed by a day and a half of round-table discussions. One of the aims of the Forum has been to expand activity between its annual meetings. Over the past year the Forum has had observer status on the European Boards for Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. This allowed proposing amendments to the Charters on the Minimum Requirements for Specialist Training in the European Union. Forum members also contributed to a symposium on training in Strasbourg in October 1995 organised by the Association of European Psychiatrists (AEP). Two important training issues were discussed in detail quality assurance of training institu tions and requirements for supervisors of train ing. Only four countries Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway and the UK have a system of inspection visits which include a trainee on the approval team; the majority have no national inspection process at all. Indeed, on hearing of the approval visit system that exists in the UK and Ireland, one representative exclaimed that it must be paradise to work as a trainee here! The Forum has recommended that a national system of regular inspection visits with trainee involve ment should be a mandatory requirement of national training programmes. On the matter of supervision, it is clear that this is variable both within and between countries. Interestingly, representatives from The Netherlands and Ger many stressed the distinction between the 'trainer' who provides the trainee with day to day clinical advice and the 'supervisor' who monitors the trainee's progress on a weekly basis but with a longer-term perspective. The Forum agreed that 'supervisors' need specific training in

Training in psychiatry in Europe
