BJPsych Advances, The Royal College of Psychiatrists’ peer-reviewed CPD journal for consultant psychiatrists, invites clinical experts to submit proposals in the area of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry covering the following article types. 

• Articles  - typically discuss comprehensive, practical approaches to clinical problems and explain the full range of therapeutic options, with useful features like MCQs, summary boxes, and associated commentaries commissioned by the Editor-in-Chief.
• Clinical Reflections - consider clinical, ethical or research dilemmas or uncertainties that present in day-to-day practice. They are the equivalent of thinking aloud and deliberating on the matter in hand.
• Refreshments - provide a short, succinct summary of a single topic to be read as a quick update by practising psychiatrists. The aim is to help readers improve their knowledge and practice in areas outside their field of expertise.
• In addition, BJPsych Advances and CPD eLearning work together to produce regular joint commissions to enhance learning for mental health professionals. For further information about the journal visit BJPsych Advances.

Please note that submissions should be educational pieces aimed at CPD for consultant psychiatrists. BJPsych Advances does not publish research or systematic review papers, and academic quality is crucial.

To submit a proposal to the journal (including a summary of approximately 150 words), please read the instructions for authors carefully and send your proposal for the attention of the Managing Editor to bjpadvances@rcpsych.ac.uk.
