Postgraduate psychiatric training is usually assessed by regular College visits. A number of training schemes, including the Liverpool training scheme, also scrutinise their training independently of the College. As far as we know, trainees as the ‘consumers’ of training have never assessed its quality themselves. The following account deals with two such audits in the Mersey region organised under the mantle of the Association of Liverpool Psychiatrists in Training (ALPIT).
