Summary
Consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry was first recognised as a subspecialty of adult psychiatry in the UK in the 1980s (1). Training in psychiatry (as for all specialties) is overseen by the General Medical Council (GMC) and the curriculum in CL psychiatry is designed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych). It is subject to regular review and update. It provides a framework and identifies competencies which need to be achieved in order to attain credentials to practise independently. In this chapter we will explore the UK curriculum in detail and consider ways in which trainees could evidence how they achieve their competencies through their Personal Development Plan (PDP) and RCPsych portfolio. We will also briefly discuss training in CL psychiatry in a number of other countries around the world (see also Chapter 26 in this volume). All psychiatry training curricula in the UK have recently been revised (August 2022).
