Psychiatry consultants reported increased satisfaction with psychogeriatric and community training but decreased satisfaction with child psychiatry and neurology. Enhanced monitoring systems are recommended for postgraduate psychiatric training.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Postgraduate training is crucial for developing consultant psychiatrists.
  • Previous surveys have indicated varying levels of satisfaction with different training components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess current postgraduate training satisfaction among newly appointed general psychiatry consultants.
  • To identify areas of improvement in psychiatric training programs.

Main Methods:

  • A postal questionnaire was distributed to all consultants appointed to general psychiatry posts between October 1985 and September 1986.
  • Data on satisfaction levels across various training domains were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Overall satisfaction increased in psychogeriatrics, supervised ward consultations, psychotherapy, community work, and medico-legal experience.

  • Satisfaction decreased in child and adolescent psychiatry, epidemiology, psychology, and neurology.

    • Conclusions:

    • While some areas of psychiatric training show improved satisfaction, others require significant enhancement.
    • Implementing a more robust monitoring system by the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Joint Committee for Higher Psychiatric Training is suggested to further refine training quality.
