Abstract

Many Irish graduates chose to pursue specialist psychiatric training in Britain. Regulations governing UK specialist training are currently changing in response to European Union (EU) directives. Furthermore, over the past five years the UK national health service has undergone significant reforms. This paper reviews the current status of British postgraduate training and examines the options for Irish doctors who take this route to a career in psychiatry.
