Summary

A postal inquiry of all senior registrars in general psychiatry in the United Kingdom gave a nearly 90 per cent response rate. Between a quarter and a fifth of the respondents will not be pursuing general psychiatry at consultant level in this country, most of these opting for a psychiatric specialty. Nearly all the overseas graduates will probably remain in this country. Slightly fewer women than men are aiming for a consultancy in general psychiatry, the rest of the women proposing to switch to one of the specialties. Some of the implications of these findings are discussed, including a proposal for a yearly follow-up of the respondents.
