Need To Evaluate

Recommendations in the White Paper Working for Patients will have a major influence in the field of child health. District consultants have been asked by colleagues and managers to explain and account for current practice in child and adolescent psychiatry, and to plan for the future against a background of serious financial constraint. Similarly, child and adolescent psychiatrists will need to evaluate current levels of use of regional services and consider a relationship where these services may have to be bought from a limited child and adolescent psychiatry budget.

Child Psychiatrists

Careers in psychiatry which commence straight after house jobs are now commonplace and an informal tradition by which future child psychiatrists worked in paediatrics before training in psychiatry is nowadays less rehearsed. Recently, one of the St George's psychiatric registrar rotations arranged a six month post as a community child health doctor (community clinical medical officer) for a psychiatric registrar (JD) who had expressed an interest in child psychiatry as a career but lacked experience in paediatrics.

The Uk

When Philip Graham takes up the Chair of the Association next June, it will be his second term in an office he originally held in 1982. Although he would modestly deny it, he is not only one of the UK's leading child and adolescent psychiatrists, but also widely respected internationally. Outside this country his reputation is particularly strong in Europe where he was President of the European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry from 1987 to 1991. His appointment to the Foundation Chair of Child Psychiatry at the Institute of Child Health in 1975 marked the establishment of the second such chair in the UK. The esteem in which he was held there led to his appointment as Dean of the Institute from 1985 to 1990. On retirement in 1994 he was elected to the Chair of the National Children's Bureau, reflecting his broad perspective on the welfare of children.

Routine Investigations

AbstractObjectives:This study examines (1) what are the minimum accepted baseline investigations recommended in the literature prior to prescribing in child psychiatry and (2) whether these investigations are routinely performed.Method:Medical literature on prescribing in child and adolescent psychiatry was reviewed, and a list of minimum baseline investigations recommended in the literature was established. A postal survey was performed to establish what current clinical practice is among child and adolescent psychiatrists. Current practice was compared with the recommendations in the literature.Results:There are nine minimum accepted baseline investigations which are consistently recommended in the literature on child psychiatry. Six investigations are routinely performed by over 75% of respondents. However only 30% (n = 16) reported that they ‘always’ carried out eight or more of the nine recommended minimum investigations.Conclusions:A consensus statement is necessary, providing a list of recommended investigations prior to prescribing in child and adolescent psychiatry. Continuing medical education can then highlight the importance of these investigations.
