What we do in the Northern
& Yorkshire Division:
The Northern and Yorkshire Division of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists covers North, West and East Yorkshire and the North
East of England up to the Scottish Borders.
Members in Northern and Yorkshire Division are
supported by a strong, committed Executive Committee which meets
quarterly.
The Executive Committee has an active academic
programme and hosts two academic conferences each year. In addition
to the academic theme one conference incorporates the AGM and one
incorporates a trainee competition. Notification of conferences and
trainee competitions are posted on the web page.
The Executive Committee encourage members to
engage with the College locally, they welcome comments and
suggestions from the wider membership and any member wishing to
contact the Executive Committee can do so via the Division
Office.
Northern and Yorkshire Division are committed
to promoting psychiatry, actively taking an interest in local
medical schools, in particular local psychiatric societies.
Medical students are encouraged to attend events and conferences
organised by the Division.
Service users and carer input is important to
the Division. This group are represented on the Executive
Committee and are also encouraged to attend Division
conferences.
The Division publishes two newsletters each
year in advance of each academic conference. Current newsletters
are available to download from the web page. Notices of
upcoming elections and job vacancies are provided to members at the
beginning of each year in a New Year Bulletin which is published
jointly with North West Division. Copies of the Bulletin are
also posted on the web page from January to March each year.
The Division hosts ad-hoc local events on
