Archived Reports
The Section and Board regularly review their reports, on average every 3 years, to ensure that our guidance and recommendations are up to date and in line with medical scientific advances and changing social, economic and political settings. As a result some reports published in the past may become obsolete, or subsumed into wider UEMS publications. For the sake of continuity, we decided to create this archive page to store the reports withdrawn from wider circulation.
- Part-Time Training in the European Union

- Psychiatric Legislation in Europe 1998
This report was archived at the Section and Board of Psychiatry spring meeting in Vienna, April 2006. Although the underpinning principles of mental health legislation recommended in this 2001 report are still largely valid, the data that informed the report was collected in 1998 and is now of limited value. The repeat of a Europe-wide survey of mental health legislation is beyond the Section’s resources. It has been decided instead to focus on one, most relevant, aspect of such legislation, i.e. the principles underlying compulsory treatment in the community, including recent research in this particular field. This work was commenced in October 2006 and a position statement will be produced in due course.
- Biological Psychiatry
In 1999 the Section conducted a survey to collect information on the role of biological psychiatry in mental health care, the importance of biological psychiatry for diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and the amount of training in biological psychiatry. This report was archived at the Section and Board of Psychiatry autumn meeting in Deventer, October 2006. In view of recent research showing evidence of psychiatry being biologically based, the Section has set up a new working group to prepare a new report on biology in psychiatry.
- Quality Assurance in specialist Training in Psychiatry
Good quality in terms of training of a psychiatrist means that every training programme should have a defined goal, appropriate requirements for the training process and appropriate means for evaluation. This report sets out recommendations for maintaining high standards of training. It was archived at the autumn meeting in Geneva, October 2007.
- Quality Assurance of Standards in Specialist Psychiatric Care
Good quality in terms of psychiatric practice means that every patient has the right to assessment, treatment and rehabilitation, according to the best knowledge available, in locally implemented treatment programmes. The starting point can be the patient-flow (logistics) from the patient’s point of view, covering the different phases in the course of their disease and the provision of services. This report was archived at the autumn meeting in Geneva, October 2007.
- Recommendations on Quality Assurance
This report outlines the recommendations based on the information gathered from the response to the questionnaire on quality assurance carried out in 1998 in all EU Member States. It was archived at the autumn meeting in Geneva, October 2007.
- Consolidation paper on Quality Assurance
This is a consolidating document summarising the Section’s and Board’s previous reports on this subject (see above). It was archived at the autumn meeting in Geneva, October 2007.
