Teaching old age psychiatry to medical students in england

A questionnaire regarding the teaching of old age psychiatry was sent to psychiatrists at teaching hospitals in England. A 53% response was received. Old age psychiatry is usually taught within general psychiatry, though there is frequent collaboration with geriatric medicine. Large numbers of students provide a challenge to this small speciality. More resources including time for teaching appear to be needed. Old age psychiatrists were keen to convey their enthusiasm and highlight the positive aspects of working with the elderly.
