“The Speciality Tutor is a psychiatrist working in the fields of child and adolescent psychiatry, psychotherapy, forensic psychiatry, learning disability, psycho-geriatrics, or the dependencies (drugs and alcohol), who is regarded as the tutor for the organisation of training in that speciality in the Region. There is one tutor for each Region.” (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1996)The speciality tutor is recognised but not appointed by the College. He or she may be appointed by the University, the Regional Post graduate Education Committee, or by a local committee, for example, the local Division of Psychiatry. The appointment, however, must have the agreement of colleagues (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1996).

The forensic psychiatry of learning disability is a subspeciality which exists on the ‘borderlines’ between other areas. It takes in information from forensic psychiatry, learning disability, child and adolescent psychiatry, psychology, genetics and pharmacology to name but a few.

Regional Authorities

Bids for new posts for 1982–83 will be decided by Regional Authorities on the advice of Regional Manpower Committees within the next few months on the basis of guidelines formulated and issued by the DHSS. There seems little likelihood that cash limits will be significantly eased by 1982–83, and the case for psychiatry will have to be argued in face of a greater degree of consultant expansion to be allowed in the support specialties—e.g., anaesthetics, radiology, and unlimited expansion, as far as central approval is concerned, in general medicine, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynaecology. It may be expected that the non-metropolitan Regions will be better placed financially to meet consultant expansion, so that while on average two to three adult mental illness consultant posts will be permitted in each Region, Regions with resources may be encouraged to bid above this average, as preference will normally be given to Regions with the lowest ratio of establishment to population. The same principle would apply in child and adolescent psychiatry where on average one post per Region may be allowed. Only two new consultant posts in mental handicap will be created in the year in England and Wales. Applications for forensic psychiatry posts for regional secure units will be treated sympathetically, and, while there is no limit proposed for psychotherapy posts, the small number of senior registrars who will have completed training suggests that few bids are anticipated for this specialty.

Taking “The Way Ahead” Report as a basis for discussion, the author examines one clinical field. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, from the point of view of Occupational Therapy's future development within this speciality over the next ten years. The aim of clinical excellence in any field is to provide essential and appropriate therapy for that client group, whether in geriatrics, mental handicap, neurology, paediatrics, etc. By presenting the past, present and future development of this one field, the author hopes that this will stimulate discussion regarding planning in all clinical specialities and bases her views on four main areas, the clinical role of the Occupational Therapist, correct staffing and facilities, post registration studies and research.

Related Potentials

Event related potentials (ERPs) represent powerful tools to investigate cognitive functioning in child and adolescent psychiatry. So far, the available body of research has largely focused on advancements in analysis methods, with little attention given to the perspective of assessment. The aim of this brief report is to provide recommendations for cognitive ERPs assessment that can be applied across diagnostic categories in child and adolescent psychiatry. First, we discuss major issues for ERPs testing using examples from common psychiatric disorders. We conclude by summing up our recommendations for methodological standards and highlighting the potential role of ERPs in the field.

Registrar Training

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.

Multidisciplinary Teamwork

This document, produced by the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Section of the College, is aimed at administrators, trainees considering entering the specialty, and colleagues in other disciplines. Its purpose is to describe the role of child and adolescent psychiatrists today, who work largely as part of a multidisciplinary team and may be based in a hospital or in the community. There is increasing emphasis on community work: assessment, treatment and preventive work is carried out with children and their families in close liaison with mainly non-medical colleagues. Such multidisciplinary teamwork has many advantages, but presents delicate problems in ethics and organization. In what follows ‘child psychiatrist’ will be generally used to mean ‘child and adolescent psychiatrist’.

Introduction: Child and Adolescent Forensic Psychiatry involves a multidisciplinary assessment at the courts’ requested to assist them in the process of justice delivery.Material and Methods: Retrospective study which included 233 forensic requests to two child and adolescent psychiatrists from Coimbra’s HP-CHUC Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department between 1998 and 2012.Results: Biographic, psychopathology, social and family aspects were analyzed. The response time throughout the process, the origin and nature of the request’s and the type of process which originated the request were also assessed. The authors identified the involved professionals and whether they needed to go to court. When there were questions, they evaluated the capacity to answer them, the forensic difficulties and solutions found, and the presence of recommendations.Discussion: The obtained results met the clinical experience and literature regarding demography and psychopathology. As for the difficulties, there were a number of aspects which could be improved by both parts, aiming to ameliorate the articulation between Health and Justice.Conclusion: With this study it was possible to reflect on the authors forensic practice, in order to develop a closer partnership with the courts to promote the real ‘best interests’ of children/adolescents and their families.

Model Of Practice

In many parts of the country, child psychiatrists currently provide services on their own. This ‘unidisciplinary’ model of practice is out of step with College recommendations for multidisciplinary working in child and adolescent psychiatry (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1990). The question arises whether one model is in fact superior to the other. In this article we look briefly at the history of the multidisciplinary team, describe our own experience of providing a unidisciplinary service and suggest a working model for the future.
