Miscellany

A request from Professor Stafford Lightman

‘Over the past year or so I have been helping set up a postgraduate M.Med programme at the University of Mbarara in Uganda. This is an extremely interesting medical school as it is set up as a community-based medical school, which is extremely appropriate for the medical problems of this part of the world. One of the areas that has been a great success has been in transcultural psychiatry. There was an extremely good Dutch psychiatrist who, among other things, formed an extremely close association with the traditional healers in the area and also set up some very good training programmes for people dealing with victims of African disasters. This lady has now had to go back to Holland...I feel that there is an enormous opportunity for working at Mbarara and I suspect there must be people who would be enthusiastic about the opportunity of going there.’

If there is any psychiatrist who would like to take on this very interesting challenge please contact Professor S. Lightman, University of Bristol, University Research Centre for Neuroendocrinology, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Laboratories, Bristol Royal Infirmary, Marlborough Street, Bristol BS2 8HW.
