First Time

A postal questionnaire inquiring about postgraduate training was directed to all consultants appointed to a post in general psychiatry for the first time between 1 October 1985 and 30 September 1986. Compared with previous surveys there is, overall, more expressed satisfaction with training in psychogeriatrics, supervised ward consultations, individual psychotherapy, work in the community, and with medico-legal experience. Diminished satisfaction is expressed in training in child and adolescent psychiatry, epidemiology, psychology, and neurology. An improved system of monitoring by the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Joint Committee for Higher Psychiatric Training is suggested in order to further improve training.

Part Time

The rise in the proportion of female medical graduates has led to an examination of the alternatives to full-time continuous postgraduate training. Part-time training has become more common, particularly in psychiatry and non-acute specialties. The means of establishing this type of training have been described in detail (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1987) and the training requirements are discussed in the JCHPT Handbook. However, when part-time training is written about it is presented as a daunting process, fraught with concerns about a less than optimum training and practical difficulties. The survey by Ann Gath (1988) of supernumerary senior registrars in child and adolescent psychiatry detailed problems such as prejudice, a sense of exploitation, and lack of support and advice. These issues are clearly of great importance to those considering this option but there is also a more positive and optimistic view of part-time training which seems of particular relevance to child psychiatry. At the time of writing I am nearing the end of my higher training on the PM 79(3) scheme and am in a position to describe some of these more positive aspects.

Aims and methodThe audit aimed to assess current senior registrar posts in child and adolescent psychiatry in Ireland in terms of working environment, conditions and training issues. The posts were compared with standards set down by the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist Advisory Committee of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the National Higher Training Subcommittee of the Irish Psychiatric Training Committee.ResultsThe audit cycle was completed twice and a 100% response rate was achieved on both occasions.Clinical implicationsHigher training posts in child and adolescent psychiatry in Ireland compare favourably to standards for training and education, but poorly for working environment, case-load and educational supervision.

The aim of this paper is to continue a dialogue regarding the possible future use of log-books during training. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has been considering their use at various stages of training in psychiatry. Cole & Scott (1991) rejected log-books as a tool for self-audit during registrar training because they were often not kept up to date. The situation in higher professional training is more complex; there is not the clear focus of studying for the Membership examination and there are many more training components to cover during a four year period. Thus, we feel that a system for self-audit and monitoring could well prove valuable at the senior registrar level. There is a tension for senior registrars with whom we discussed this issue at the last Annual Meeting of the Section and among colleagues on our rotation.
