Northern & Yorkshire

What we do in the Northern & Yorkshire Division:

The Northern and Yorkshire Division of the Royal College of Psychiatrists covers North, West and East Yorkshire and the North East of England up to the Scottish Borders.

Members in Northern and Yorkshire Division are supported by a strong, committed Executive Committee which meets quarterly.

The Executive Committee has an active academic programme and hosts two academic conferences each year. In addition to the academic theme one conference incorporates the AGM and one incorporates a trainee competition. Notification of conferences and trainee competitions are posted on the web page.

The Executive Committee encourage members to engage with the College locally, they welcome comments and suggestions from the wider membership and any member wishing to contact the Executive Committee can do so via the Division Office.

Northern and Yorkshire Division are committed to promoting psychiatry, actively taking an interest in local medical schools, in particular local psychiatric societies.  Medical students are encouraged to attend events and conferences organised by the Division.

Service users and carer input is important to the Division.  This group are represented on the Executive Committee and are also encouraged to attend Division conferences.

The Division publishes two newsletters each year in advance of each academic conference. Current newsletters are available to download from the web page.  Notices of upcoming elections and job vacancies are provided to members at the beginning of each year in a New Year Bulletin which is published jointly with North West Division.  Copies of the Bulletin are also posted on the web page from January to March each year.  

The Division hosts ad-hoc local events on behalf of the College, such as training for Approved Assessors and information about these events are posted on the webpage and notified to members by email.
