The College has established a new grade known as ‘Pre-Membership Psychiatric Trainee’ for those in psychiatric training who have not yet passed the MRCPsych examination; this will replace the Inceptor grade following the Annual General Meeting on 11 July 2006.

The application process will be much simpler and quicker than has been the case for inceptors. The package will be attractive and useful and will include the trainee logbook, the Basic Specialist Training Handbook, the examinations curriculum, titles from the Good Psychiatric Practice series and reading lists. Pre-Membership psychiatric trainees will receive discounted rates for conferences, the British Journal of Psychiatry and the Psychiatric Bulletin. They will also be entitled to subscribe to Advances in Psychiatric Treatment at the members’ rate. There will be a dedicated annual meeting for new senior house officers in psychiatry for this grade only.

We hope to contact all new trainees in psychiatry as soon as they commence specialist training. Flyers and application forms will be sent to College tutors, with the request that they ensure that all new trainees receive a copy of each.

Trainees will be invited to apply either online or by post, indicating the name of the training scheme. There will be no need for the tutor or consultant to countersign the application.

Once received, provided the trainee is registered with the General Medical Council (or the Medical Council in Ireland in the case of trainees in Ireland) and on an approved training programme, the application will be approved and a pack sent out.
