It is generally agreed that training in liaison psychiatry should be available at SHO/registrar grade, but the College's guidelines are not specific about what it might entail. As a result it is difficult for approval visitors to decide whether a particular post on a rotational training scheme truly provides liaison experience. At times so-called “liaison experience” amounts to no more than participation in a duty-rota for visiting a general hospital to undertake the assessment of cases of deliberate self-harm.
