CPFT Core Psychiatry Training Course

The CPFT Core Psychiatry Training Course is a new programme that will run over 2 years, starting from 20 Feb 2024 onwards, for core trainees working across Cambridge, Huntingdon, The Fens or Peterborough. Each year has 3 terms composed of 8 weeks each. The teaching will be run in person for the whole day on Tuesdays at Victoria House in Fulbourn. The aim is to address the range of topics in the curriculum and also help produce better psychiatrists and professionals. It will be comprised of a mixture of lectures and tutorials, peer and near-peer teaching, journal club and case presentations, on-call supervision sessions, communications skills training and some clinical skills training facilitated by consultant and higher trainees with the opportunity for AOTs. There will also be some lived experience sessions.

Core Training - MRCPsych Courses

Most trusts run their own individual courses to guide their trainees during their core training and to help them prepare for the MRCPsych examinations. These are often open to the core trainees in their own trusts and some are extended to trainee in their neighbouring trust.
