End-of-2021 stocktake update

Dear Sir,

We previously collated and published a resource containing all past papers from Australasian Psychiatry with subject matter particularly relevant for trainees. ¹ The aim was to develop an easily accessible resource available to trainees and their supervisors that could then be added to as further relevant papers entered the journal.

The completion of another volume of Australasian Psychiatry provides an appropriate opportunity to maintain our endeavour of keeping this article collection up to date. As such, we have scoured the entirety of the 29^th volume of Australasian Psychiatry using the same inclusion criteria as previously to identify any further relevant papers that may strengthen the resource. In all, a further nine articles were identified from the search. Additionally, a review of reference lists yielded an article from an earlier volume that was missed in the initial search. ²

The subject matter of these nine additional papers from volume 29 was spread across six of the 10 previously established themes; namely, general trainee subjects, written examinations, clinical skills, formulation, trainee welfare and transition to early-career psychiatrist. The specific topics covered across these new papers are listed in Table 1, with the full citation for each paper available at the online resource hosted on the journal’s website (https://journals.sagepub.com/page/apy/virtualspecialcollections). ³ It is anticipated that this updated collection will continue to benefit trainees as they undertake the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, training programme.
