A brief history of the evolution of the Parliamentary Scholar Scheme

摘要

We were really pleased to read about the Parliamentary Scholar Scheme and how successful it has become – thank you for your thorough overview of this invaluable opportunity for speciality trainees in psychiatry. The scheme can trace its origins back to a pilot scheme set up by Baroness Hollins in 2012, when KJ was one of three trainees at higher speciality trainee level in Psychiatry of Intellectual Disability or Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He joined her team at the House of Lords one day a week for four months as a special interest session in Parliamentary affairs.
