چکیده

The role of a chairman of a psychiatric division is complex and demanding. This article looks at some of the problems but does not pose many solutions. It is unfortunate that some of the recent committees of inquiry into psychiatric services do not appear to have been aware of all the problems. Some clarification of the difficulties may be timely. Long Grove Hospital is a large mental illness hospital with about 1000 patients. The three-man multidisciplinary management team consists of the hospital administrator, the divisional nursing officer, and the chairman of the psychiatric division. The management team has powers to co-opt and, since its formation three years ago, has helped greatly the organisation and co-ordination of services, particularly for the long-stay patients. Good multidisciplinary management can create an environment which allows more freedom for initiative, including the exercise of clinical autonomy.
