title: Teaching the consultant teachers in psychiatry: experience in Birmingham.
abstract: This paper describes the establishment and evaluation of a single specialty programme for the development of teaching skills in senior doctors. The learning is scheduled against the needs of trainers, which can be derived from the available evidence including a college curriculum for juniors, and the learners' own personal declarations. The outcome is shown though performance measures (junior doctors' feedback), participant feedback and group development. The value of a programme, which is specialty specific, is thus highlighted.
