cialty. If the exam is passed, that person receives a number result
of his academic record during university and test result. The num-
ber indicates the order of election, so number 1 chooses specialty
and hospital first and so on. The Spanish healthcare system offers
between 220 and 250 places to start the Specialty of Psychiatry in
121 hospitals across Spain.
Methods We designed a semi-structured questionnaire with 30
questions specific for the purpose of this work. The questionnaire
was spread by social networks and email to reach as many medi-
cal doctors undertaking postgraduate training in psychiatry as we
could.
Results One hundred and thirty people responded to the ques-
tionnaire. Fifteen were not psychiatry trainees. We obtained
information from 80 hospitals (66%). Thirty-three hospitals (41%)
have specific training in psychotherapy. Sixty-nine (86%) apply
electroconvulsive therapy regularly. Teaching during training is
given together with psychologists and nurses in 36 hospitals (45%),
with psychologists in 32 (40%), only psychiatry trainees in 12 (15%).
Psychiatry trainees do general emergency guards in 62 hospitals
(77%).
Conclusion At themoment ofwriting this, the guide has been con-
sulted by 14,600 people and visited over 40,000 times. This guide
may help medical students to discover Psychiatry Training and to
choose the best hospital that fits their interests.

Introduction Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH) citizens, affected by
1992–1995 war, developed serious mental health posttraumatic
consequences. Their needs for EMDR (eye movement desensiti-
sation and reprocessing) treatment increased. The Humanitarian
Assistance Programmes UK & Ireland (HAP) work in partnership
with mental health professionals in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH) from
2010.
Objectives We aim to build a body of qualified and experienced
professionals who can establish and sustain their own EMDR train-
ing.
Method Authors described educational process considering the
history of idea and its realization through training levels and
process of supervision which was provided from the Humani-
tarian Assistance Program (HAP) of UK &Ireland with non profit,
humanitarian approach in sharing skills of EMDR to mental health
therapists in BH.
Results The trainers fromHAP UK & Ireland completed five EMDR
trainings in BH (two in Tuzla and three in Sarajevo) for 100 recruited
trainees from different BH health institutions from different cities
and entities in BH. To be accredited EMDR therapists all trainees
are obliged to practice EMDR therapy with clients under the
supervision process of HAP UK&Ireland supervisors. Supervision is
organized via Skype Internet technology. Up today seven trainees
completed their supervision successfully and became European
Accredited EMDR Psychotherapists, one of them became European
Accredited EMDR Consultant.
Conclusion Five training of Bosnia-Herzegovina mental health
workers to effectively use EMDR with enthusiastic help of EMDR
trainers from HAP UK&Ireland resulted with seven European
accredited EMDR psychotherapists, and one of them became Euro-
pean accredited EMDR consultant. Thiswill increase psychotherapy
capacities in postwar BH.

Introduction Out of hours, there is only one on-site junior doctor.
First year psychiatry trainees (CT1s) and GP trainees may have no
prior experience in psychiatry. On-call shifts are therefore poten-
tially daunting for new trainees.
Objectives Expand the resources available for trainees when on-
call.
Methods We issued questionnaires to CT1s asking if they would
have appreciated more information about on-call scenarios and in
what format.
Based on the questionnaire results we implemented some changes.
These were:
– a printed “pocket-guide” summarising common on-call scenar-
ios;
– a training video on common on-call scenarios.
The handout was given to new trainees in February 2016 and in
August 2016. The video was shown to new trainees in August 2016.
Trainees provided feedback on the resources.
Results Of 24 CT1s, 15 (63%) were “neutral” or “disagreed” that
they had felt prepared for on-calls.
CT1s wanted additional resources, especially a paper handout or
phone download.
Feedback on the “pocket-guide” from trainees in February 2016
(n = 8) was positive (62.5% reported increased confidence in on-
call situations). Feedback is also being collected from trainees who
received the guide in August 2016.
Trainees in August 2016 (n = 36) liked the video – no trainees “dis-
agreed” with statements asking if the video had been useful.
The video improved the confidence of trainees about on-call situa-
tions by an average of 2.8 points.
Conclusions We have expanded available resources relating to
on-calls and improved confidence. Further improvements would
include making resources more easily available in downloadable
formats.
