Dean's Quarterly Update

Dear members,

Welcome to the College’s fourth Dean’s Quarterly Update email!

As Dean I have been keen for us to innovate to provide the best possible education and training to members.

In this update, we bring news of some of the ways in which we’re doing exactly that.

This spring, a new certification course in public mental health leadership is set to launch, which will involve both eLearning and webinar-based training.

We’ve also developed a new knowledge enhancement programme - the RCPsych International Diploma in Older Adults’ Mental Health and Dementia – which is expected to begin later this year.

We love to celebrate success, and recently held our second in-person Specialist Registration Ceremony for members who have achieved CCT or CESR in the last 18 months.

You can read about all these fantastic innovations below.

We also bring you updates on items which are part of the College’s usual excellent learning and development programme.

This year’s International Congress is in Edinburgh, and you can get a taste of what to expect and find out how to get the best value tickets in this update.

You can also catch up on the latest CPD eLearning offerings: there have been quite a few new ones since our last email.

I hope you find this Quarterly Update useful, and feel like I do, that we’re making great progress in many important areas. Do get in touch and let me know how I and my team are doing – I would love to know what we are doing well and where we could do better.

Best wishes,

Professor Subodh Dave, Dean, RCPsych
