I'm receiving some concern from trainees @rcpsychTrainees and consultants @rcpsych about the proposed changes to use of #RCPsych in titles ("postnominals"), & accessibility of #AGM at #RCPsychIC. Information not easy to find so let me try to describe (Conflict of Int: FRCPsych)
Currently "MRCPsych" aka membership is used by doctors who have passed College #exams, and FRCPsych used by Fellows -essentially more senior members. These are the only 2 postnominals and have some other conditions. There are other ways of associating with the RCPsych though...
Specialist Associates @rcpsych are experienced psychiatrists in the UK,on the GMC specialist register but without the MRCPsych exams (eg if trained abroad to consultant level). Proposals introduce "SpARCPsych" and use FRCPsych for senior SpA (so FRCPsych no longer = passed exams)

So -we're nearly at the end of our first virtual #RCPsychIC - but there's one more set of split sessions to go! On this thread you can follow the 57th split session of this amazing event, which is about Dual Diagnosis from the public, clinical + academic perspective.
Our first speaker is Caroline Turiff, who has been diagnosed with a range of conditions inc OCD and PTSD, and is an award winning investigative broadcast journalist. #RCPsychIC
I've read 70% of people with drug dependency who have a dual diagnosis so it is the norm for them, she says. #RCPsychIC

First split sessions of Day 3 #RCPsychIC and on this thread we're looking at the Changing landscape of publishing - promises to be a great set of talks.
First off is @KSBhui and he has lots of advice for med students, trainees and tenacious researchers. Show your work to ppl who are not interested and see if they understand. Pick your topic with care - one you feel passionate abt but one of broad interest. #RCPsychIC
@KSBhui Pick your journal carefully - think if the journal is efficient, the clarity and purpose of the journal and whether the audience is right for your paper, that's the most important thing. So many tips here from @KSBhui #RCPsychIC
