Job overview

As current resident doctors in psychiatry approaching the end of your higher training programmes, we recognise that you have a unique journey ahead of you. Preparing for what lies ahead can be a daunting experience as you make the transition from an experienced resident doctor to a consultant psychiatrist. This event is designed for resident doctors through collaboration with small focus groups of senior psychiatry resident doctors and early years consultants from across Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust (OHFT) with the intention of helping you to make that transition just a bit easier. The interesting sessions planned for you throughout the day will guide you through some of the bigger changes that come with becoming a consultant; from demystifying job planning and acting up experiences, through to some more theoretical sessions on AI and autism and an addictions update. All of which have been identified as potentially missing from the formal teaching delivered through the training programme. 

Please note, this event is only available to psychiatry resident doctors in formal higher training posts.
