Little has been published by junior trainees of their experience of part-time training. This paper discusses two different arrangements of flexible training at registrar level based on the personal experience of a married couple where both partners wished to combine psychiatric training with childcare. Job-share by working alternate periods of six months is compared with being in separate flexible training posts as super numerary registrars.

There are major challenges in providing training for psychiatrists in the modern National Health Service (NHS). Senior house officer and specialist registrar training has been reorganised to focus on core skills and competencies, and is monitored through educational supervision and the Record of In-Training Assessment (RITA) process. For consultants, the development of appraisal and revalidation are linked to formalised approaches to continuing professional development and personal development (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2001). Increasingly, training is self-directed and psychiatrists have to effectively evaluate and plan for their individual educational needs. They must be able to access good quality, structured training, to develop and maintain a range of specific and generic skills.

The article analyzes personal experience in distance learning using the Microsoft Teams application. The author defines distance education as a form of interaction between a teacher and a student and a student’s independent work using information technology in accordance with the educational program. The article presents the results of the author’s sociological study, conducted with the help of qualitative and quantitative methods of information collection. 30 free unstructured interviews and a small questionnaire survey were conducted. There were 250 respondents. The results of the survey lead to the conclusion that as a forced measure, most participants in the educational process took this type of training positively. In the future, distance education can be recommended for use in full-time and part-time educational formats.

Aims and methodThis survey was commissioned and funded by the Department of Health to examine perceptions of training by flexible trainees in higher psychiatric training. A total of 214 trainees were surveyed using a postal questionnaire.ResultsOne hundred and thirty-five questionnaires were returned (response rate 63%). In general, flexible trainees valued the opportunity to train part-time and perceived the quality of their training to be high. However, there were drawbacks such as: perceived lack of status, restricted training opportunities and a lack of part-time consultant posts at the end of training.ImplicationsFlexible training plays a major role in maintaining doctors in the workforce. However, there is a need for part-time opportunities to extend beyond the training grades and into consultant posts.

Little is known about how posts are allocated to enable Individuals to experience a comprehensive pre-membership psychiatric training. A questionnaire survey of 26 teaching hospital training schemes was carried out. This concentrated on registrar training – post-Part 1 MRCPsych (now known as senior house officers since the Caiman changes). Four main methods of allocation, with varying degrees of trainee involvement, were identified. The amount of prior notice given of the trainees' next placement and perceived advantages and disadvantages were compared between the four methods. Implications for practice are discussed.

The Joint Committee on Higher Psychiatric Training (JCHPT) requires senior registrars (SRs) training for special responsibility posts in old age psychiatry to spend between one year and 18 months in higher training posts in which psychiatry of old age forms the major part of the work. Although only about a third of consultants in a recent survey had such training, there was strong evidence that more recently appointed consultants were likely to have recommended training. The availability of suitable training ‘slots’ seems likely to play a major role in how quickly specialised psychiatric services for old people can develop in response to the rising challenge posed by demographic changes. Jolley has already demonstrated how developments have been delayed by a shortage of properly trained candidates. Despite this the situation has now been reached where over two-thirds of the elderly population of the UK are served by specialised consultants albeit sometimes at inadequate manpower levels.

The College and the Joint Committee on Higher Psychiatric Training have recently considered part-time training in psychiatry. Although it is recognized that it may not always be possible, it is recommended that the training period should include at least one year of full-time training, though this is not mandatory. The conditions for part-time training are set out under two headings.
