Survey of Research Activity by Trainees in the Mersey Region

Abstract

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has always been keen to promote research by psychiatric trainees. Trainees are becoming increasingly aware of the need to produce research in order to enhance their promotion prospects and to widen their own knowledge and experience. At the University Department of Psychiatry in Liverpool we have taken an active role in its promotion within the region and in the spring of 1986 we decided to conduct a survey into research activity by psychiatric trainees in Mersey Region.
