Women senior registrars in psychiatry: background and career intentions
P Brook
An inquiry was made of all women senior registrars in general psychiatry
who were known to be planning to remain in psychiatry in this country. Most
were hoping to work full or maximum part-time, and all except one were
aiming for a consultant appointment in general psychiatry or one of the
specialties. Many anticipated difficulties in realizing their ambitions
because of being tied to one particular area on account of their husbands'
employment. A number of solutions to this problem are suggested.
