Plenary talks will explore how attachments formed throughout our lives shape our personalities and our social ties. Experts from both Psychiatry and Psychology will present on this theme through the different life stages, from the perinatal period to later life. The ‘lifespan’ of the trainee and the influences that shape us in our working lives will also be discussed.
Focussing on the challenges facing trainees we plan to host focussed parallel sessions on preparing trainees for the Irish Clinical Exam, interviews and the transition from trainee to Consultant. Concluding the Conference, we will have a moderated panel discussion on the challenges in Consultant recruitment and retention in psychiatry.
To close the day, you are warmly invited to attend a social event with refreshments where you will have the opportunity to speak with members of the Trainee Committee as well as your fellow NCHDs working across Ireland in many different areas of Psychiatry.
It promises to be a very interesting and enjoyable NCHD Conference for 2020. The CPychI and the Trainee Committee look forward to seeing you there.

Trainee Committee Co-Chairs 2018-2020
