SUMMARYThis paper describes the development, piloting and delivery of an immediate care cardiac course (ICCC) to Irish general practitioners. The course utilizes the continuing medical education network of the Irish College of General Practitioners. This has made the course locally accessible even for remote practitioners and has facilitated rapid dissemination. In its first year, 167 GPs (8% of the total number of Irish GPs) have completed the course. Participant feedback has been positive, especially regarding the small group‐ and skills‐based components. The introduction of more formal assessment procedures is now being undertaken. We believe this model to be a possible template for the introduction of other skills courses both in Ireland and abr

摘要:

SUMMARYEighteen psychiatric trainees spent 6 months each as general practice trainees. The educational impact of the experience was assessed by a self‐assessment questionnaire, a semi‐structured interview and a videotaped interview with a psychiatric patient. Each assessment was conducted at baseline and after 12 months. A control group of 14 trainees was recruited from the same rotation. On the self‐assessment questionnaire, the study registrars rated their abilities to solve general medical problems significantly improved compared to controls. They had also acquired greater understanding of the limitations of their knowledge and their legal responsibilities towards their patients. The semi‐structured interview failed to distinguish between the two groups. Videotapes for rating at baseline and follow‐up were available for only 17 of the trainees. Assessment of the tapes used the Maguire Scale and the Interview Behaviour Scale. Neither scale demonstrated any intervention effect. The interviews were all characterized by a preponderance of ‘closed psychological’ and ‘checking‐out’ questions. It appears that psychiatric trainees’ interviewing styles had not been influenced by the experience. This study suggests that psychiatric trainees gain greater confidence in their role as a doctor and greater understanding of the scope and nature of general practice by such an attachment. It is unclear whether or not supplementary interviewing skills had been acquired which were not utilized in the taped interview, which conforms very much to traditional psychiatric examination behaviour. Trainees were reassured that they had increased their knowledge without losing any of their specifi

摘要:

SUMMARYBefore beginning higher professional training in one of the subspecialties, all psychiatry trainees must complete a general professional psychiatric training. At this stage, some but not all will undertake a clinical placement in child and adolescent psychiatry. Fifty‐seven trainees who had completed one of the 15 child and adolescent psychiatry placements in a Regional Health Authority, took part in a semi‐structured telephone interview. The trainees were asked to compare the child and adolescent psychiatry placement with a general adult psychiatry placement with respect to the training received in a number of areas. These areas were considered to be important to psychiatrists of all future subspecialties and included: assessment, communication, psychological interventions and psychological theories. In addition, subjects were asked about their general professional training as a whole and the role that child and adolescent psychiatry placements should play. The interview included quantitative and qualitative components. The findings suggest that child and adolescent psychiatry placements can make a significant contribution to a number of important areas of general professional development and that there would be considerable support for strengthening the role of such placements in psychiatry train
