The vision of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) is of ‘a fellowship of psychiatrists working with and for the general community to achieve the best attainable quality of psychiatric care and mental health’. It is the principal organisation representing the specialty of psychiatry in Australia and New Zealand; it currently has around 2600 Fellows, who account for approximately 85% of psychiatrists in Australia and 50% of psychiatrists in New Zealand. The RANZCP sets the curriculum, accredits training and training programmes, and assesses trainee psychiatrists. In addition, it administers a continuing professional development programme for practising psychiatrists, has a role in policy development, publishes two scientific journals – the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry and Australasian Psychiatry – and holds an annual scientific congress.

Issue 1, July 2003 despite the obvious pressures, the integration of hospital and community work and of health and social services, and a significant per capita increase in public spending on health care, led during this period to worthwhile improvements in mental health services. These are things that may or may not have happened had peace prevailed. That services have improved and the population as a whole has coped remarkably well does not mean, of course, that those individuals who are seriously affected do not require appropriate help and treatment. Daly (1999) examined the treatment needs of the community generally as well as specific victim groups such as the security forces, children, the bereaved and prisoners. This raises a further but as yet still anecdotal observation. After the much publicised cease-fires there was a substantial, albeit ragged, reduction in terrorist activity; however, many health care professionals would corroborate the remark by Curran & Miller (2001) that with this reduction in violence there has been some increase in the presentation of victims of the Troubles. One implication may be that once the curiously ‘holding environment’ of the Troubles is lifted we may observe a negative as well as a positive ‘peace dividend’. Who knows if it may yet be too early to be fully clear about the impact of the past 30 years on the psychological welfare of the people of Northern Ireland? References
