Latest issue
The winter 2025–26 issue of The Registrar explores evolving challenges in modern psychiatry, including integrating psychotherapeutic and biological approaches, the mental health impact of online content on young people, clinician safety and professional boundaries and a quality improvement initiative in trans and gender-diverse healthcare. It also includes an update from the PRDC and a welcome from the publication's new editor Dr An?l ?stün.
Share your ideas
Contributing to The Registrar is a great opportunity to engage with your Psychiatric Resident Doctors’ Committee and fellow resident psychiatrists, and share your experiences, projects, or ideas with fellow residents. It’s also a chance to see your work published and discussed.
The magazine welcomes article ideas on topics relevant to training and practice, including pieces on education, leadership, research, conferences, exams, recruitment, interviews and any other issues you feel are important to resident doctors. We particularly love hearing about innovative projects that fit with our aim to improve recruitment, training, and retention training, as well as interesting activities psychiatrists do outside of their clinical work, that complement their practice.
Short adverts for upcoming events, courses or conferences will also be considered.
Please note: You do not need to submit full articles initially, as the editor will first consider the proposal, and if accepted will provide a steer to develop the content, define the scope, and advise on the appropriate word count for your piece.
