VOTED TOP 3 CHILD HEALTH WEBSITES BY THE
TIMES
11th Nov 2006
The Royal College of Psychiatrists website was
recently voted by a panel of experts for the Times as one of
the top 3 child health websites. “A useful range of leaflets can be
downloaded by parents, teachers and young people, covering issues
from dealing with tantrums and sleep problems to ADHD and
schizophrenia.”
“We are thrilled that our website has been
recognised as a valuable resource for the general public,"
said Dr Martin Briscoe, Editor of the Website. "Child mental health
is an vital issue of national interest. We work very hard to
ensure that our mental health information is user-friendly and
up-to-date.”

The official website of the Royal College of Psychiatrists,
www.rcpsych.ac.uk is especially
helpful for people living in the United Kingdom. None the less,
others may find it equally valuable. It has useful information for
qualified psychiatrists, psychiatric trainees, doctors interested
in psychiatry, and not least, patients and carers. There are links
to other websites for carers and patients, and links to different
journals. You can easily access the college's journals (British
Journal of Psychiatry, Psychiatric Bulletin, and
Advances in Psychiatric Treatment). It also contains a
list of psychiatry textbooks and has special sections for career
advice.
