I have maintained throughout my career an interest in education and training at both under-graduate and post-graduate level and I have completed a post-graduate diploma in clinical teaching. I convene the Western Post-Graduate Training Scheme in psychiatry. As a member of the curriculum group of the College of Psychiatry of Ireland, I was involved in designing the curriculum for basic specialist trainees, with the year one curriculum now launched. In 2007, I was involved in setting up and was editor of the Video Journals in Psychiatry, (www.vjpsych.ie) an electronic based teaching programme with approximately 100 e-based learning modules for psychiatry trainees and consultant psychiatrists. As senior lecturer in psychiatry in NUI Galway, I am involved in designing the curriculum, organising, delivering, examining and supervising the teaching of medical students in Galway and the three medical academies in Letterkenny, Castlebar and Sligo. I organise and deliver teaching to a range of health disciplines (i.e. the mental health module of the post-gradate diploma in clinical primary care). I lecture and examine for the University of Surrey in Guildford for their Masters in Nutrition.
