AnnotationA questionnaire was sent to all old age specialist registrar (SpR) trainees for this nationwide survey. Two-thirds of SpRs were undergoing dual training (that is, in both old age and general adult psychiatry). Most trainees favoured a flexible system offering a choice of single or dual accreditation. Many trainees had concerns about single accreditation. Schemes vary in whether they encourage one type of training or another. Training schemes appear to vary unacceptably in their attitudes to training. There needs to be a more consistent approach nationally. Clearer guidance from the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCP) may help. (RH).
