Further Development

Although in the past it has been possible for students of librarianship in Britain to select some specialist options pertaining to art librarianship, this is no longer the case: training for librarianship is generalist in its scope. Intending art librarians have in some cases chosen to study for an arts degree and then to undertake postgraduate training in librarianship, while more recently the proliferation of modular studies has multiplied opportunities for combining different subjects. Art librarianship is learned by working in an art library; in addition, ARLIS/ UK & Ireland provides short courses, workshops, and study visits, as well as an annual conference. Proposals for a national Visual Arts Library and Information Plan (VALIP) may lead to further development of a strategy for the training of art librarians.

Health And Social Care

Little is known about the current character of occupational therapy practice for Parkinson's disease in the United Kingdom. The study aimed to document this in order to inform plans for a future multicentre randomised controlled trial. Two hundred and forty-two occupational therapists that treated people with Parkinson's disease were sent a questionnaire regarding demographics, service organisation and therapy content. One hundred and sixty-nine occupational therapists (70%) responded. They had worked with people with Parkinson's disease for a median of 6 years and personally treated a median of 15 people with Parkinson's disease annually. Most (86%) were at senior grade or above; 87% worked in the National Health Service and 12% in social services. Forty per cent worked in specialist Parkinson's disease clinics. Most (79%) felt that they needed more specialist postgraduate training. Occupational therapists are employed in both health and social care settings. The character of the occupational therapy is often determined by the location in which it is provided. Current occupational therapy appears to focus on functional activities rather than on the wider social and psychological aspects of occupation. Many occupational therapists felt that they needed more specialist postgraduate training to treat people with Parkinson's disease effectively.

Selection Of

This scheme, now in its third year of operation, is designed to bring to Great Britain every year thirty-eight Canadian graduates in engineering for post-graduate studies. The Fellowships have a duration of two years and are tenable in industry, in universities, or partly in each of these. The author has been connected with the scheme from its inception; he assists in the selection of the graduates in Canada and arranges for their location and training in the United Kingdom. The paper describes in some detail the origin, purpose, and operation of the scheme and raises many issues of interest and importance. The author also gives summaries of the reactions of Athlone Fellows who are now receiving postgraduate training in Great Britain. The purpose of the paper is twofold: to give information concerning a new and important system of Fellowships, and to evoke constructive criticism from professional engineers of its objects and operation.

Important Branch

Despite recent trends toward specialization, general practice will continue as an important branch of medical care in the United Kingdom. The role of the general practitioner is briefly discussed in this article and it is emphasized that physicians must be specifically and urgently instructed for this role as young postgraduates. This requires that some teaching of undergraduates take place in the setting of general practice; the limited aims of this teaching are listed. The main purpose of the article is to describe the aims and the outline syllabus for the training of general practitioners in the early postgraduate period. These aims have begun to be achieved in the last few years in this country. The present state of three–year postgraduate training schemes is reviewed and problems yet unsolved are discussed.
