The Retired Psychiatrists Group of the College's Scottish Division has been in existence for over 16 months and has held a series of successful and enjoyable meetings. Retirement means different things to different people, with some taking up new interests and activities and some remaining active in psychiatry. However, most people like to keep in touch with former colleagues, compare notes about their lives and enjoy their company. The Retired Psychiatrists Group seeks to meet this need. Meetings have been held in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth and most speakers so far have been members of the group who have a remarkable range of interests and knowledge. the Group aims to include a wide variety of topics in their programme, but will leave the more technical aspects of psychiatry to the main College meetings. Possible future activities include visits to sites of historical interest, hill-walking and golf. A total of 42 Scottish psychiatrists joined the group in the first year.
