Unaccredited and pre-vocational registrars

Unaccredited registrars employed directly by us work in positions on our inpatient units or general adult community teams. These positions are a wonderful opportunity to work in similar positions to our accredited trainees.

The positions are supervised by experienced consultant psychiatrists committed to excellence in mental health care, and who are enthusiastic to supervise those who are interested in psychiatry as a career.

We view the time as an unaccredited registrar as an introduction to psychiatry training and therefore aim to employ those with experience in psychiatry and a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in psychiatry.

We encourage all those who complete a period as an unaccredited registrar with us to then apply to join psychiatry training as a first-year registrar.
