Training Specialist

The proposal that management training should be integral to the training of all doctors, including psychiatrists, is not new (Gadd, 1990). The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist Advisory Sub-Committee (CAPSAC) training guidelines (1999) recognise that future consultants will need sufficient management skills to be leaders in service development as well as effective clinicians, and outline the knowledge and experience to be gained during higher professional training (Box 1). This paper describes the Yorkshire scheme's approach to supporting trainees to achieve these objectives and highlights the need to engage trainees, trainers and managers in taking forward this important agenda.

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.

Psychiatric Units

The Approval Exercise in which psychiatric hospitals and units are approved for general professional training has recently completed the first round of visits to general psychiatric units. The present phase includes a continuing review of both fully and provisionally approved hospitals and first visits to subspecialty units in mental handicap, child and adolescent psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. The announcement of an impending visit is likely to engender apprehension rather than a feeling of empathy with the task of the Convenor and his panel, but a description of the Convenor's role should dispel any misconception that it consists of a frolicsome succession of expense-accounted jaunts.

Registrar Training

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.

The Ideal

The prospect of looking for a consultant post in child and adolescent psychiatry can be anxiety provoking. The ideal job should be balanced and fulfilling, with scope for personal and service development, and should minimise the likelihood of frustration and burn-out. It is not uncommon for newly appointed consultants to become dispirited by the discrepancy between the job description and the reality of the post.

Significant Diurnal Variation

Aims and methodWe examined peaks and troughs in demand for out-of-hours consultations and assessments in child and adolescent psychiatry and whether these have implications for service development. All out-of-hours referrals in three teaching hospitals providing services to a large and diverse inner-city population were prospectively registered from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2005.ResultsIn total, 323 individuals under 18 years were referred; 21.6 (95% CI 19.3-24.0) per 100 000 general population per year. Bedside assessments were required in 37%, the remainder were dealt with by telephone. The work took more than 4 h for 22%; 46% of individuals presenting were aged 16-18 years. Significant diurnal variation was observed with a peak in referrals between 17.00 h and 00.59 h. More referrals were made when daytime liaison services were closed (odds ratio (OR) = 2.46, 95% CI 1.15-1.87), after referral pathways had been clarified (OR = 2.33, 95% CI 1.92-3.23) and during spring (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.14-1.98). Other factors analysed showed no association with referral activity.Clinical implicationsCyclic variations in the demand for out-of-hours services in child and adolescent psychiatry should be considered for service planning. Although paediatric psychiatric emergencies are relatively rare, they can take up considerable clinician time.
