Get involved with the Trent Division

There are lots of ways you can get involved with the Trent Division!

Attending an event or training session

The Divisions team works hard to provide great events and training sessions at which you can gain CPD points, keep your knowledge up to date and network with other members, carers and patient representatives in the region.

Find out about our upcoming events.

Contributing to the Division's news updates or speaking at an event

We'd love to hear from Division members who'd like to contribute an article to our news updates or speak at one of our events. If you'd like to, please email trent@rcpsych.ac.uk.

Nominating someone for a Hall of Fame Award

The aim of the nominations are to recognise and appreciate medical students, doctors of all training grades (foundation, core trainees, higher trainees, SAS doctors, consultants and physician associates), managers, nurses, social workers and support workers (or even teams, if not individuals) for their contribution towards psychiatry in the region. This would in turn help us tell people that they are valued and appreciated for the work they do.
