The benefits of experience in paediatric genetics to child psychiatrists are discussed. Pursuing a special interest within a child psychiatry rotational training scheme is an important way of widening experience in light of the proposed reforms to training for hospital doctors.

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.

There is a trend for new consultant posts in child psychiatry to be linked to Social Services Departments. I recently took up such a post, with four of my sessions funded by the local Social Services Department. Training of child psychiatrists for such consultative posts is variable, but I was fortunate to have trained as a senior registrar at the Tavistock Clinic, where one of the training options was a link with Camden Social Services through a placement at Camden Assessment Centre.

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.

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.

The experience of a paediatric placement is described. Difficulties encountered mirror those experienced in liasion child psychiatry and the basis for this is dicussed. Early collaboration during specialist training of paediatricians and child psychiatrists can enhance the working relationships between the disciplines and the clinical skills of both.

As a senior registrar training in child and adolescent psychiatry I am preparing for an uncertain future. In addition to essential clinical and management skills, the ability to withstand stress and burnout seems crucial. I should like to write about my experience of working as a senior registrar at the Young People's Unit (YPU) Macclesfield which is a specialist adolescent unit under chronic threat of closure.

Registrar Training

Senior registrar training is a preparation for consultantship. The Royal College recommends that when selecting senior registrars ‘potential suitability for a consultant post’ should be the prime consideration (1). The trainee, having concentrated on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and basic clinical experience, now sets out to learn further management skills, improves on his special interests and fills gaps in the experience he has so far gained (2). The emphasis during his senior registrar tenure is therefore on a different set of objectives.

Rampton Hospital is one of four Special Hospitals in England and Wales. Along with the other Special Hospitals, it usually has a small number of deaf patients. I had developed a special interest in the particular problems of psychiatrically ill deaf patients and it seemed fortuitous that I should spend a year of my senior registrar training at Rampton Hospital.

Physician burnout has reached epidemic levels in many countries, contributing to adverse personal, patient and service outcomes. Adverse socioeconomic conditions, such as the economic downturn in the Ireland post 2008, contribute to a situation of increased demand but inadequate resources. Given a recent unprecedented increase in referrals to Irish child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), coupled with a fragmented and poorly resourced service, it is important to reflect on consultant child psychiatrists’ well-being.ObjectivesTo report on the level of burnout among consultants working in CAMHS in Ireland using a cross-sectional design.SettingCommunity CAMHS in Ireland.ParticipantsAn online questionnaire was sent to all consultant child psychiatrists registered with the Irish Medical Council (n=112). Fifty-two consultants replied (46% response rate).Primary outcome measuresQuestions assessed demographic and occupational details, career satisfaction and perceived management, government and public support. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory measured personal, work and patient-related burnout.ResultsThe prevalence of moderate or higher levels of work-related and personal burnout was 75% and 72.3%, respectively. Fewer (n=14, 26.9%) experienced patient-related burnout. There was a strong correlation between work burnout and personal (r=0.851, n=52, p<0.001) and patient-related burnout (r=0.476, n=52, p<0.001). Lack of confidence in government commitment to investment in CAMHS (p<0.001) and perceived ineffective management by health authorities (p=0.002) were associated with higher burnout scores. Few consultants (n=11, 21%) felt valued in their job. The majority (n=36, 69%) had seriously considered changing jobs, and this was positively associated with higher burnout (p<0.001). Higher burnout scores were present in those (n=15, 28.8%) who would not retrain in child psychiatry (p=0.002).ConclusionThe high level of burnout reported by respondents in this study, and ambivalence about child psychiatry as a career choice has huge professional and service implications. Urgent organisational intervention to support consultant psychiatrists’ well-being is required.
