Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that applications are now open for the College’s International Diploma in Older Adults’ Mental Health 2026/27 cohort.
This knowledge enhancement programme is designed for doctors outside the UK wishing to upskill or refresh their understanding of how the most common mental disorders in older adults present and are managed.
The programme will allow learners to broaden their understanding of the clinical and service-related complexities of working within older adults’ mental health. In addition, learners can contribute to, and benefit from, a growing international community of practice for psychiatry of older people, sharing the skills and knowledge to develop services for older people within their own clinical practice.
We are accepting applications for the 2026/27 cohort with a proposed course start date in September 2026. Please visit the web page for further details and instructions on how to apply.
We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity within your networks and with colleagues who may be interested.
With kind regards,
RCPsych International Diploma Team
