โฆ Synopsis
A workload questionnaire, detailing activities undertaken over a speciยฎed 7-day period, was circulated by post to geriatric psychiatrists on the list held by the Section of Old Age Psychiatry, Royal College of Psychiatrists. One hundred and thirty-eight responses have been analysed to show patterns of work over the days of the week. Much of the respondents' time is concentrated on clinical work. Administration and committee work extends into every day of the week, but personal study and research are only reported by small numbers of respondents.
