Specialists in psychiatry, in the Indian sub-continent, were trained in the UK in the early 20th century. Just before Independence, an Indian branch of the Royal Medical Psychological Association was established. Many issues of contemporary concern were discussed, as also plans for the further development of psychiatry in the region. Soon after the Second World War, and the Independence of India, the association was disbanded. However, a large number of psychiatrists from south Asia now live and work in the UK, and the Indian Psychiatric society and the Royal College continue to have close links.
20世纪初,印度次大陆的精神病学专家在英国接受培训。就在独立前夕,皇家医学心理协会印度分会成立。会上讨论了许多当代关注的问题以及该地区精神病学进一步发展的计划。第二次世界大战和印度独立后不久,该协会解散。然而,现在有大量来自南亚的精神病医生在英国生活和工作,印度精神病学会和皇家医学院仍然保持着密切联系。
