In 1974 we published a pilot study on the use of consultant time in child psychiatry, based on detailed timesheets kept by a group of child psychiatrists in and near London (1). The group, which is still meeting, decided to see what changes, if any, have occurred over the last seven years in the way we allocate our time. The primary purpose of the group, now, as then, is ‘the provision of a forum where members can exchange views and compare experiences relating to the problems encountered while engaging in and often being professionally responsible for administering a child psychiatric service.’ A nucleus of about six consultants took part in both studies.

During my elective year of training I worked in the Darwin region. As part of my work I provided psychiatric services to the isolated communities living in the Darwin rural region. A description and analysis of this work led me to develop a theoretical model of how psychiatric services could most appropriately and effectively be provided to such a unique region. This work formed the basis of my dissertation for the Section II examinations for FRANZCP.

SummaryThis editorial launches the new culture section in the journal. Without any unchallengeable definition of ‘culture’, potential contributors may consider submissions under four headings: the arts and humanities relating to practice; regulatory culture; becoming a cultured practitioner; and psychiatry's cultural context. A new article type, ‘Cultural reflections’, has been created, and submissions may reflect any appropriate methodology, including those from the arts. Peer review (from methodologies outside psychiatry if appropriate) will assure quality. Our objectives are to establish BJPsych Bulletin as the ‘journal of record’ for cultural studies relevant to psychiatric service delivery and demonstrate equivalent quality between them and scientific studies.

The study examines the knowledge and views among district social workers of a local child psychiatric service and determines whether their views influence decisions to refer to the service. The results are compared with similar studies of general practitioners (GPs) and paediatricians and discussed with reference to recent national reviews of child psychiatry in the UK.

AbstractObjectives: To carry out a survey on the use of video conferencing equipment by a rural child psychiatric multidisciplinary team and to determine what impact the introduction of this equipment had on service provision.Method: Several aspects were studied including user satisfaction and estimations of cost saving, on the basis of avoidance of travel to and from the regional base in Galway. A questionnaire was also developed to determine whether alternative contact would have been made if if this new technology were not in place.Results: The results of the initial six months following commencement were investigated. Use of the equipment was attempted 17 times during this period. Most members of the child psychiatry team participated in its use. Visual problems accounted for 66.7% of reported technical difficulty and 88.9% of users rated their level of satisfaction with the equipment as ‘Satisfied’ or ‘Very Satisfied’.Conclusions: Apart from the start-up cost implications of installing this equipment, it satisfied its aim of increasing contact between the rural service and St Anne's Children Centre in Galway. The equipment was easy to use and for the most part reliable.
