The importance of thorough induction courses for junior doctors when they start new jobs has been highlighted. This paper describes an induction course for trainees in psychiatry starting work in a community trust which included information on how to interact with the personnel department, on the services provided by the trust and on the organisation of education within the trust. The results of feedback from the trainees are presented showing that they found it a valuable experience.
