School of Psychiatry

Welcome

The East Midlands is a fantastic place to begin your career as a psychiatrist.

The region offers Core Training as well as Speciality Training in the major sub-specialities. The training scheme overall continues to move from strength to strength. The East Midlands has an excellent reputation for delivering high quality trainees who go on to work as Consultant Psychiatrists.
