Abstract
The need to deliver holistic medical care that addresses both physical and mental health requirements has never been more
important. The UK medical training system has been designed to provide all medical graduates with a broad experience of different
medical specialities and psychiatry prior to entering specialist training. Furthermore there is a distinct crossover between
Psychiatric and General Practice training, with programmes providing trainees with the opportunity to work alongside each other in
the care of mental health patients.
The video presentation will explain the UK medical training system in more detail, before going on to explore how the
organisation of training may foster a shared culture among different specialities and how it could form a model for improving parity
of esteem of medical and physical health care. In addition it will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this system from a trainee
perspective and will conclude with comments from eminent Psychiatrists whom have special interests in medical training and
developingparity of mental and physical health care.
