2 Professor of Psychiatry, University of Birmingham

An account is given of a developing post-graduate training scheme in psychiatry operating within the area served by the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board. The essential principles underlying this scheme are decentralization of post-graduate training and its advancement in all psychiatric hospitals within the Region.

Four main features of the scheme are (1) the appointment of post-graduate clinical tutors having University status in each psychiatric hospital; (2) the development of special functions in hospitals in addition to their normal service function; (3) a scheme for the advanced training of senior registrars in psychiatry; and (4) the development of special training for registrars.

Two views of the training scheme are presented, one as seen from the centre, the other from the periphery.
