AbstractObjective: The objective of this study was to analyse general practice referrals to psychiatric out-patient clinics and their relation to practice and patient variables.Method: Retrospective analysis of new episode attendances at out-patient services over a three year period was undertaken. Referring practices were examined for referral rates, single or group practice and the presence of Vocational/Psychiatric training within the practice.Results: Referral rates were similar to national rates, but were lower than other jurisdictions. There was a tendency for group practices to have lower referral rates.Conclusions: There was considerable difference between practices in referral rates. These differences were significantly related to GP vocational training.

Choosing ten books that have most influenced my practice is an odd challenge. I wasn't one of those medical students who wanted to do psychiatry since he was 12, or read most of Freud or Jung. In fact throughout medical school, and for several years as a junior doctor, I thought psychiatry and psychiatrists were pretty weird. It was only in my general practice vocational training year that I realised how much of medicine concerned the psychological and began my psychiatric training. This influence came not through books that I read but through the patients whom I saw.

West Indian Immigrants

Since 1948 a number of papers published in Great Britain have demonstrated the feasibility of studying the incidence and prevalence of both major and minor psychiatric disorders in general practice (3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18). Few, however, have focused on the health of West Indian immigrants in Great Britain, some 125,000 of whom have entered the country since that time (2, 12, 13, 20). This paper reports on the results of a six-month psychiatric morbidity survey of a group general practice in Brixton, the main purpose of which was to collect and compare data on the illness and consultation patterns of West Indian and English patients attending the same general practice.
