Aims and MethodThe Record of In-Training Assessment grades of all registrars in the psychiatric specialties in the UK were analysed for each of three successive years, specialty by specialty, and compared with the average outcome for registrars in all disciplines over the same period.ResultsOver 98% of psychiatry registrars were assessed as satisfactory, 1.2% needed targeted training and 0.7% were graded as unsatisfactory, requiring repeat training. Targeted training and repeat training led to a satisfactory outcome in the majority of cases.Clinical ImplicationsThe process of assessment needs to become more objective, and should do so as the Royal Colleges develop better measures of clinical competence.

“…In a large survey of assessments for specialist registrars in the Oxford Deanery, the incidence of RITA 'D' and 'E' assessments was 3%, which is very similar to our figure. 7 It can be very difficult to improve the manual skills in a doctor in a craft specialty if they do not have those skills innately. For any change to take place, the senior house officer must understand the need for change, and to be capable of making it.…”
