“…Such findings are nevertheless consistent with the existing literatureapproximately 75% of female and 25% of male specialist registrars in medical specialties are considering working part-time as consultants (Mather, 2001). An earlier study of flexible trainees in psychiatry found that 79% wanted a part-time or job share a consultant post (Caswell & Lowe, 2000). Current job provision suggests that not all trainees will achieve this desired outcome and it is possible some will change their view on this as they approach the end of their training.…”

Aims and MethodTo establish the proportion of psychiatrists in Northern Ireland who currently work part-time and the proportion of those working fulltime who wish to work part-time. A postal questionnaire was forwarded to psychiatrists and repeated 30 months later.ResultsIn 2004, only 18.3% of respondents were working part-time, and 26.8% in 2006. A great majority stated their intent was to always work part-time, the most frequent reason being to achieve work–life balance.Clinical ImplicationsA significant number of staff working part-time will have implications for the staffing of the service. Policy makers must plan for the adequate provision of part-time working arrangements.

This article outlines the findings of a study which indicate that flexible training in psychiatry was considered adequate to prepare doctors for both full-time and part-time work and that those wishing to work part time had no difficulty in finding jobs after accreditation. However, there was evidence to suggest that part-time consultants experienced more problems and less job satisfaction and that part-time training and working may restrict opportunities for an academic career.
