Child Mental Health in Paediatric Training Survey – Open Now!

Members of the PMHA Executive Committee, the RCPCH Child Mental Health CSAC, the RCPCH Training and Quality Team and the RCPsych have teamed up to create a nationwide survey on child mental health in paediatric training. The survey has now launched and can be accessed at https://eu.surveymonkey.com/r/CMHsurvey2023

We want to hear from consultants, SAS doctors and trainees in paediatrics across the UK. The survey takes just 10 minutes to complete, and your responses will help us identify any improvements to the quality of and access to this area of training.

The survey is open until late November. It is voluntary – but we want to hear from as many UK members as possible! You’ll be asked to provide your career stage, region/deanery and sub-specialty as relevant, and answer some questions about your experiences of child mental health training.

Full responses will be shared with the College and Child Mental Health CSAC. An anonymised summary of the key outcomes will also be shared with the CAP Faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatry, which will help us consider how our two Colleges might deliver joint training and exchange expertise. 

Your survey responses will be kept for one year and then securely deleted. The RCPCH may retain fully anonymised data indefinitely. The RCPCH’s full privacy policy for this survey is available at https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2023-10/privacy-policy-child-mental-health-training-survey.pdf
