Sir, this advertisement was featured in the classified section of the BDJ on 26 November 2005 (Vol. 199 No. 10): 'Applications for Specialist Registrars in General Adult Psychiatry North Western Deanery (Manchester/ Lancashire). (Ref: SPR57F)'

I wonder if this was a misprint by the BDJ or whether they have foreseen that with the arrival of the new contract, some disillusioned dentists may be thinking of moving to psychiatry or may end up psychiatrics, if they don't meet up their UDA targets?

If I apply as a dentist with BDS, FDS, Dip.D. Sed. and Specialist in Surgical Dentistry, would I be short-listed? Or am I psychiatric?
