Registrar Training

The development of more rotational training schemes in psychiatry for registrars and senior registrars is introducing more trainees to mental handicap. Generally, however, mental handicap is not regarded by the trainees as the most interesting or highly-prized assignment; because of the nature of the patients, the long-stay hospitals involved and unfamiliarity with its problems, mental handicap lacks the appeal of some other subspecialties in psychiatry.

1. These recommendations are derived from the report of a working party on education and training set up by the Section for Social and Community Psychiatry in 1984. A companion paper deals with recommendations for Senior Registrar posts in Rehabilitation and in General Psychiatry. The recommendations for the most part do not represent new departures, but are mainly explicit descriptions of what is currently included in good training programmes, developments which are already increasing or recommendations made in previous documents. With the forthcoming expansion of psychiatric care in the community, appropriate training is increasingly required.

Registrar Training

The co-existence of physical and psychiatric illness in so much of the elderly population poses diagnostic and therapeutic problems for psychiatrists, geriatricians and general practitioners alike, with the presence of physical illness strongly influencing and sometimes limiting the options for treatment of the psychiatric illness. Recognition of this has resulted in the Section of Old Age Psychiatry of the Royal College of Psychiatrists recommending that senior registrar training in old age psychiatry should include a one month attachment to an approved geriatric medicine unit.
