The Board of International Affairs has been set up by Council with a specific remit to make recommendations and comment on recommendations or decisions by other College committees whenever these have international implications. The Board will meet at least four times a year. It has its own office and the administrative support at the College. But this is just a beginning.

You are hereby invited to help us to define specific issues that, in the light of the above article, you think we should be concentrating on, by applying for one of the posts of Appointed Member of the Board of International Affairs.

This is an honorary post and it is probable that you will need to devote approximately one session per month (including committee meetings). You will report to the Director of International Affairs. Interviews will be held on the afternoon of Tuesday 2 October 2001.

If you are interested in applying, please contact Mrs Joanna Carroll, Postgraduate Educational Services Administrator (Overseas Liaison), Royal College of Psychiatrists, 17 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8PG by 28 September 2001.
