Routine medical examinations: a problem audited is a problem solved.

Staff had difficulty in gaining the co-operation of adolescents for routine medical examinations in an in-patient unit. This was largely resolved by giving more explanation to the adolescent and, in cases of difficulty, calling a meeting of other patients and staff.

Extra meetings: a tool for decisions and therapy.

An Adolescent Unit uses the tool of any member of staff or patient group having the right to call a meeting. The development of this idea, anxieties about it, its usefulness and examples are presented. The meetings are used for communication, support or decisions and are often in themselves the vehicles for change.

Examination of the Distinctive Awards System.

When they stopped secrecy, the consultants of an internationally-famous postgraduate teaching centre in psychiatry--not a designated teaching hospital--discovered that they had one-tenth the national average of distinction awards. Subsequent investigation of the whole system suggests that this is not an isolated case. Moreover, official figures are scanty and misleading. This paper explores the difficulties in understanding, investigating, and influencing the system. The composition of the committees involved, the de facto quota system, the method of collecting information, and the convention of secrecy are examined and critized.
