Table 2: Additional comments.

It would be helpful or the above specialities should be included in the curricula.

More formal training and mandatory placements in these areas would be useful.

Old age psychiatry is changing and both the curriculum and training need to reflect this.

We need to retain our own area of expertise while working across specialties more.

The curriculum should include ILOs for geriatric medicine and for neuroimaging as well as above therapies.

Need to beef up the physical care knowledge more, as the physical demands are increasing significantly.

Need more formal exposure/training in new areas such as brain imaging.

It would be far more useful to have some neuropsychiatry and geriatric medicine competencies.

Link skills and knowledge in above four areas to higher trainees ILOs and make them explicit areas to be checked in ARCPs. Special interest session can be used to have specific postings in these areas.

The curriculum should be balanced between biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors relevant in older age and curriculum should mention it as desirable.

There should be some minimum requirements in terms of trainees' understanding and experience with medicine and neurology/neuropsychiatry.

It might be helpful to give clear guidance as to 'how' new curricula should be met.
