This paper describes the role of primary care clinicians in the management of people with psychosis. The paper uses the term ‘psychosis’ in the same way that severe mental illness is used in the Quality and Outcome Framework to mean those people who suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. The paper will cover some epidemiological characteristics of psychosis, features of people with acute psychosis, features of chronic psychosis and finally describe briefly changes to the Mental Health Act 2007 and the potential for these changes to affect the practice of medicine in primary care.

The current National Health Service (NHS) approach to commissioning health services is in flux. The purchasing of care from providers by general practitioner fundholders (GPFHs) and health authorities has changed with the new White Papers. GPFHs no longer exist and the commissioning role is being handed over from health authorities to primary care groups (PCGs). An understanding of the reasons for change and current arrangements will aid the consultant psychiatrist in influencing this process.

In April 1996, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Task Force on Mental Health Coding for Children completed 4 years of work on the development of a classification system for children's mental health appropriate for primary care clinicians with the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Primary Care—Child Version (DSM-PC). This work represents a multidisciplinary effort spearheaded by the AAP and supported by grants from the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Friends of Children Fund to create a more prevention-oriented, developmentally based system for classifying psychosocial diagnoses of children and adolescents in primary care with mental health symptoms.
