Aims and methodThe audit aimed to assess current senior registrar posts in child and adolescent psychiatry in Ireland in terms of working environment, conditions and training issues. The posts were compared with standards set down by the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist Advisory Committee of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the National Higher Training Subcommittee of the Irish Psychiatric Training Committee.ResultsThe audit cycle was completed twice and a 100% response rate was achieved on both occasions.Clinical implicationsHigher training posts in child and adolescent psychiatry in Ireland compare favourably to standards for training and education, but poorly for working environment, case-load and educational supervision.

In Thailand, we have only two programmes for residency training in psychiatry: one is general or adult psychiatry, which takes 3 years to complete; the other is child and adolescent psychiatry, which takes 4 years. There are nine institutes that offer residency training but only three medical schools have the capacity to offer training in both general and child psychiatry (Table 1).
