Substantial changes are taking place to undergraduate psychiatric curricula, in response to recent General Medical Council recommendations. The overall aim is to provide a training in core knowledge and skills that enables students to become competent junior house officers. These developments will inevitably affect clinicians' involvement in undergraduate teaching. How change is being implemented in Nottingham –and the success and challenges so far – is discussed.
