1. These recommendations are derived from the report of a working party on education and training set up by the Section for Social and Community Psychiatry in 1984. A companion paper deals with recommendations for Senior Registrar posts in Rehabilitation and in General Psychiatry. The recommendations for the most part do not represent new departures, but are mainly explicit descriptions of what is currently included in good training programmes, developments which are already increasing or recommendations made in previous documents. With the forthcoming expansion of psychiatric care in the community, appropriate training is increasingly required.

Review Current

The working party was set up in November 1981 to review current senior registrar training in alcoholism and drug dependence, and to make recommendations for the future. It sought the views of all known consultants in alcoholism and drug dependence, and their present and past senior registrars. Attention to this question is justified for the following reasons. First, the Manpower Working Party's report, Medical Manpower in the Psychiatric Specialties (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1982), has recommended that the average District (i.e. a population of 200,000) should allocate about four consultant sessions to the ‘dependencies', such sessions being provided by general psychiatrists with a special interest in alcohol or drug dependence or both. Secondly, appropriately trained applicants are needed for vacancies which occur in the existing regional and sub-regional alcoholism treatment units and drug dependence clinics. Thirdly, the Treatment and Rehabilitation Working Group of the government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs is likely to recommend an increase in the number of consultants specializing in drug dependence.

Changing Role

As the move towards community based psychiatry gathers momentum, it becomes increasingly important that psychiatrists are adequately trained to take on their changing role in the new model of psychiatric care (Sturt & Waters, 1985;Lancet, 1985). Indeed, it has been recommended that “every psychiatrist should be familiar with the conduct of community psychiatry” (Freeman, 1985). Difficulties arise, however, due to the fact that there is no accepted definition of the practice of community psychiatry (Fink & Weinstein, 1979) let alone well established training programmes designed to equip future community psychiatrists to practise competently. Not surprisingly, few psychiatrists are satisfied with their community psychiatry training. Brook (1981) reported that only 38% considered their community psychiatry to be adequate in quantity and suitably supervised. Even then, their subjective view may not have reflected the actual adequacy of their training. Nevertheless, useful guidelines have been drawn up by the Collegiate Trainees Committee Working Party (Scott, 1988), outlining what would constitute a rounded training programme in community psychiatry. However, there is scant literature evaluating the usefulness of the few existing posts providing such experience

Registrar Training

The development of more rotational training schemes in psychiatry for registrars and senior registrars is introducing more trainees to mental handicap. Generally, however, mental handicap is not regarded by the trainees as the most interesting or highly-prized assignment; because of the nature of the patients, the long-stay hospitals involved and unfamiliarity with its problems, mental handicap lacks the appeal of some other subspecialties in psychiatry.

Number Of Births

Aims and methodTo set up a liaison psychiatry service for an obstetric department and review how much of the work involved in such a service can be undertaken by a senior registrar in two special interest sessions.ResultsIt was clear there was a demand for a service for women with psychiatric problems associated with childbirth. Referrals from colleagues in general psychiatry meant that the available time was soon used up. This did therefore not allow time to develop efficient systems for referral and management or to then see the extra referrals this would have produced. The limited and temporary service was well received by other professionals and by patients. The number of referrals received fell far short of the expected morbidity.Clinical implicationsIn an area with this number of births and its consequent level of psychiatric morbidity, it would not seem possible, within two special interest sessions, to develop a more formalised or comprehensive system.

In 1953 an Institute working party was set up to investigate the accuracy of dead reckoning in air navigation and to attempt to produce error data covering a wide range of operational conditions. Dead reckoning errors fall into two categories, those due to wind finding and forecasting, and those due to instruments. Mr. Durst's paper surveys the whole problem, laying particular emphasis on the meteorological aspects, and represents the main progress in this subject to date.The error of a dead reckoning position in the air will depend on the accuracy of the initial position from which the departure is made, the accuracy of the course steered (compass error), the accuracy of distance flown (airspeed-indicator or engine-revolution error), and the accuracy of the wind used (forecast error, found-wind error, &c). These quantities can be expressed mathematically, as is done in Appendix I, and it will be seen that if a pair of fixes is available it is possible to derive the dead reckoning error. The standard error that will arise when a large number of D.R. positions have been calculated on different occasions using a large number of aircraft and observers can be written symbolically; the expressions are fairly simple provided that the errors made in the different classes listed above (e.g. the errors in compass and distance run) are not closely correlated.

Limited Choice

The career paths of many trainees in psychiatry are influenced by their experience of a six month SHO/registrar training post in a particular speciality. Not all trainees, however, may be aware of the training requirements for a specialist consultant post, career prospects and most importantly of the practicalities of working on a day to day basis as a specialist consultant or a consultant with special interest or responsibility. Furthermore, some SR trainees may have a limited choice of placement in a SR training scheme and with the diminishing availability of pure general psychiatry consultant posts, a year's training at senior registrar level may determine a trainee's whole career.

To be appointed as a consultant orthodontist in the British National Health Service requires a period of 3 + years in a higher training post as a senior registrar in orthodontics. Educational approval of these training posts is controlled by the Joint Committee for Higher Training in Dentistry. The detailed monitoring and requirements of senior registrar training posts are controlled by the Specialist Advisory Committee in Orthodontics and Paediatric Dentistry. Revised criteria for the approval of training programmes have recently been issued and are appended for the guidance of aspirant trainees, trainers and for the reader seeking an understanding of the UK title of ‘Consultant Orthodontist’.

As one of the most common artifact categories found on Spanish colonial sites, the wheel-made, tin-glazed pottery known as majolica is an important chronological and social indicator for archaeologists. Initially imported from Europe, several manufacturing centers for majolica were set up in the New World by the late sixteenth century. The study of colonial majolica in the Viceroyalty of Peru, which encompassed much of South America, has received less attention than ceramic production and trade in the colonial Caribbean and Mesoamerica. Prior to 1650 the Viceroyalty of Peru was supplied with majolica largely produced in the city of Panama Vieja, on the Pacific. Panama Vieja majolica has been recovered from throughout the Andes, as far south as Argentina. Majolica made in Panama Vieja provides an important chronological indicator of early colonial archaeological contexts in the region. The reproduction of Iberian-style majolica for use on elite tables was symbolically important to the imposition of Spanish rule, and thus Panamanian majolicas also provide an important indicator of elite status on Andean colonial sites.

Health Boards

A working party was set up by the Scottish Home and Health Department to consider the system of allocation of money to health boards. The system advocated (SHARE Report) is predictable from the NHS structure and the analogous report (RAWP) in England. The Secretary of State has announced his decision to accept SHARE in general principle. In principle, the Report is to be welcomed as a first step toward rationalising the distribution of health service money. However, work already published suggests the assumptions in SHARE require examination. SHARE would encourage individual health boards to plan for their own populations although thereby the greatest improvement in health services in Scotland may not be achieved. The SHARE objective of equal opportunity of securing access is open to various interpretations. Emphasis is laid on the recommendation in the Report for a comprehensive examination of the inter-relationship of social circumstances (in particular, urban deprivation), morbidity and mortality.
