About Karrish Devan
The journey to Higher Psychiatry training involves completing foundation year training and then applying for three years of core training. After this, you can apply for a single higher training sub-speciality (3 further years of training) or dual, where you complete two sub-specialities (5 further years of training). After this, you qualify as a Psychiatric Consultant. Most of the Psychiatrists you will meet are General Adult Psychiatrists. I am currently one of the rare dual trainees as described above (see the Medical Psychotherapy page for more information about my other CCT). My General Adult higher training involves compulsory inpatient and community jobs, and then the other 6-month Adult placements offered by the trust (I.e., Psychiatric Liaison, NeuroPsychiatry, Eating Disorders, etc.).
