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.

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.

The term ‘liaison psychiatry’ is becoming increasingly popular. Indeed, the Royal College of Psychiatrists has set up a special interest group, the Liaison Psychiatry Group, which has a growing membership. There appear to be developments in training and in service provision but it is difficult to assess their clinical impact. Ongoing research is required to quantify the actual level of service provided to general hospitals.

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.

Old Age Psychiatry

Since the late 1960s the number of psychiatrists choosing to specialise in old age psychiatry has increased dramatically (Wattis, 1988) and in 1989 the Royal College of Psychiatrists recognised the specialty's status. Recent recommendations of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Psychiatrists (Report of a Joint Working Party of the Royal Colleges, 1989) have considerable implications for the continued development of cooperation between psychogeriatricians and geriatricians and for senior registrar (SR) training in both specialties. This study attempts to describe the availability of and attitudes towards training in psychogeriatrics (PG) of geriatric SRs.

Aims and methodTo set up a liaison psychiatry service for an obstetric department and review how much of the work involved in such a service can be undertaken by a senior registrar in two special interest sessions.ResultsIt was clear there was a demand for a service for women with psychiatric problems associated with childbirth. Referrals from colleagues in general psychiatry meant that the available time was soon used up. This did therefore not allow time to develop efficient systems for referral and management or to then see the extra referrals this would have produced. The limited and temporary service was well received by other professionals and by patients. The number of referrals received fell far short of the expected morbidity.Clinical implicationsIn an area with this number of births and its consequent level of psychiatric morbidity, it would not seem possible, within two special interest sessions, to develop a more formalised or comprehensive system.

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.

Limited Choice

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.

His particular interests lie in the field of drug dependence and he has published on this subject, as well as on medical manpower and the side-effects of drugs. He was a co-founder of the Institute for the Study of Drug Dependence, and a member of both the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and its precursor the Standing Advisory Committee on Drug Dependence.
