📜A statement from the Chair of the PRDC: rcpsych.ac.uk/news-and-featu…

The countdown is over — the RCPsych International Congress kicks off tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to an exciting few days of learning, discussion, and reconnecting with colleagues from across the profession. If you’re attending Congress, please do come and say hello! The Psychiatric Resident Doctors’ Committee (PRDC) @rcpsychTrainees will be hosting lunch in the Students and Resident Doctors Lounge on Monday, and we’d love to meet you, hear about your experiences, and discuss the issues that matter most to you.  On Tuesday we will also be joined by the College officers, our Chief Examiner on Wednesday, and our final wrap for Thursday is with our associate Deans for the curriculum and Resident Doctors support as well as updates on the upcoming portfolio transition. Whether you have questions, ideas, concerns, or simply want to put faces to names, everyone is welcome. 😊 Looking forward to seeing many of you there and wishing everyone a fantastic Congress!  @rcpsych

We’re delighted to announce that Professor Nandini Chakraborty has been elected as the next Dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, after a ballot with a turnout of 21.1% and a total of 3,674 votes cast. The position of Dean is one of the most senior roles in the College and plays a significant part in our efforts to ensure our workforce meets the needs of communities across the UK. The Dean also provides strategic leadership on psychiatric training and supports the development of a valued and sustainable workforce. Professor Chakraborty will take up her post at the AGM on 16 June, succeeding Professor Subodh Dave who was elected the College’s next President in April.
