National Recruitment to Psychiatry in
England, Scotland and Wales
August 2013 intake
Healthcare provision is changing: our
populations are living longer and have more complex and long term
conditions; our technology is developing, with the potential to
monitor chronic disease in the home and community; and our
resources are increasingly more limited, necessitating more
efficient and effective care. Current boundaries between primary
and secondary care are becoming blurred, and healthcare is moving
from managing single episodes of illness in acute hospitals to a
more integrated model of treating patients who present with acute
illness on top of long term conditions within community
settings.
To address the changing needs of the
population and the profession we are developing a new ways of
training specialists to prepare them for the challenges ahead. The
Broad Based Training (BBT) is a new two-year structured core
training programme which provides six-month placements in
core medical training, general practice, paediatrics and
psychiatry. Subject to satisfactory progression, trainees
will then enter core training at CT/ST2 level in one of the four
specialties.
