'Psychiatr-East'
e-Newsletter Issue 4 Winter
2011
The Eastern Division of The Royal College of Psychiatrists is
one of the new Divisions to emerge from the 1997 restructuring. It
is coterminus with the Eastern NHS Region and covers the following
counties: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire,
Norfolk and Suffolk.
The Executive Committee meets quarterly and there are two
Academic Meetings per year. We aim to have the Annual General
Meeting in the Spring in Cambridge and a second meeting
in November, at another centre in the region. We welcome
suggestions for the content of the meetings and aim to combine key
clinical and service issues with a strong academic content.
The Executive Committee is keen to hear the views of members
from around the Region on any issue and to report these back to the
College.

taking into account specialty groupings, also the wide geographical
spread of the Division. Please feel free to contact any member of
