About the Private and
Independent Practice SIG
The Private and Independent Practice Special Interest Group was
formed in the 1990s and the membership is increasing. Members
from other Specialities and Faculties of the college are welcome if
they work to any extent outside the NHS. The group covers
private practice, medicolegal and Mental Health Act work, and
doctors visiting and working in independent hospitals and
clinics.
The group seeks to develop the interface
between the College, the independent sector, the insurers and the
NHS.
Previous annual reports can be viewed on the
website and show the range of activities that Pipsig covers.
The current challenges include Relicensing and
Revalidation, skills required for independent psychiatric practice
and liaising with other college activities.
The group's concerns have been that those
working outside the NHS have, in the past, not been included in
college activities.
