Starting her family in Europe, Dr Sonja Cabarkapa is taking an international approach to her psychiatry training. This requires a positive mindset and determination, both of which she employed when completing her scholarly project on profiling absconders from public and private wards in Australia. While Sonja has a global attitude to life and training, her research has a distinctly local focus. The idea forming in the aftermath of a critical incident, and the subsequent work driven by a desire to understand the factors contributing to its occurrence. Sonja describes how research born of clinical experience comes naturally, that the skills required to complete a study are transferrable to exams, and the unexpected sense of comradery she found in more menial aspects of the work. Sonja is interviewed by Associate Trainee Editor Michael Weightman, Deputy Editor Andrew Amos and Trainee Editor Oliver Robertson.

Following a series of podcasts exploring trainees’ experiences of the Scholarly Project assessment task, the latest episode of The Thought Broadcast shifts focus to the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). In response to the imbroglio arising from the failed delivery of the November 2021 audiovisual OSCE, we speak to Dr Nick O’Connor – RANZCP board member, and Chair of the Education Committee.
Dr O’Connor provides candid responses to questions relating to how and why the AVOSCE was abandoned, as well as updating listeners on alternative assessment pathways for affected candidates.
Dr O’Connor also addressed broader issues around bottlenecks in trainee progression to Fellowship and how the recently commissioned Australian Council for Education Research report may shape the future of RANZCP assessments.
Dr O’Connor is interviewed by Trainee Editor Oliver Robertson, Associate Trainee Editors Bryan Bui and Michael Weightman, and Deputy Editor Andrew Amos.
(Note: this interview was recorded on 10th December 2021, prior to the Australian Medical Council’s response to the RANZCP’s alternative assessment proposals).

The first episode of this trainee generated podcast series explores the journey of an original research project from real-world clinical observation through to publication. Focussing on the scholarly project of podcast co-creator and Associate Trainee Editor of Australasian Psychiatry Dr Bryan Bui1, the conversation demonstrates how trainees can find meaningful research opportunities in their routine clinical care.

Australia and New Zealand are world leaders in developing the broader health, welfare, and cultural support systems needed for broad-based mental health and wellbeing. While early intervention in adolescent and young adult groups has been the most visible area of development and debate for the last two or three decades, there is growing recognition of the importance of early experiences for development and health throughout the life span. There has been controversy on how best and how early to start looking for risk factors for later development of mental illness, but there is little resistance to the idea that reducing the stressors and improving the welfare of infants and their families is likely to improve outcomes across all areas of health and wellbeing.

It has been more than 50 years since the Referendum changing the Australian constitution to extend full citizenship and the right to vote to Indigenous Australians, and New Zealand was a trailblazer in extending the vote both to women and to Maori people in the 19th Century.

The movement to care for people with mental illness and intellectual disability in the general community rather than in large institutions shifted the priorities of care away from minimising risk towards increasing autonomy. It was equally unsurprising that most of those affected benefited from increased control over their lives, while some appeared to use their freedom unwisely. Notwithstanding difficulties with its implementation, the National Disability Insurance Scheme shows that there is still a broad appetite for ambitious efforts to increase the control of people with disability over their own lives and care.

Mental health legislation balances competing aims including patient care, safety, and autonomy, with public expectations of justice, humane treatment, and professional discretion. The difficulty of satisfying all is shown by the recent comment by the United Nations Committee for the Rights of People with Disabilities that all people have legal capacity at all times, leading to the conclusion that involuntary treatment and substitute decision-making are unethical.

The October 2018 podcast interviews Associate Professor Christopher Ryan, Director of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital, and Associate Professor at the Sydney Health Ethics centre of the University of Sydney. Professor Ryan has numerous publications covering delirium, risk categorisation, and ethical practice in psychiatry. Professor Ryan highlights psychiatrists’ unique responsibility for the exercise of involuntary detention for the treatment of mental illness; discusses recent improvements in Australasian legislation governing this responsibility; and suggests that improved understanding of mental health legislation covering involuntary treatment should be a priority for psychiatric training and continuing professional development.

It has been said that when the organic basis of a mental disease is understood, it ceases to be psychiatry.
