Old Age Psychiatry

In 1961 Shaw & Macmillan claimed that there was no doubt of the value of the day hospital as an “alternative to in-patient care and prophylaxis” for the elderly mentally ill (EMI). Thirty years later the day hospital remains central to many EMI services. During these years little has been done to evaluate this method of service delivery against other models of service provision.

Old Age Psychiatry

The views of general practitioners (GPs) on the priorities for a new old age psychiatry service were obtained. Most GPs identified dementia patients with behavioural or psychiatric disturbance as being the greatest priority for an old age psychiatry service. There was less consensus on the priorities for delivery of the service, but hospital-based services such as in-patient and day hospital facilities remain high on the GPs' priority list. There was a widely-based desire for results of assessments to be communicated by telephone, followed later by letter. These findings have been taken into account in the development of our new service.

Day Hospitals

A review of the drug treatment of 163 patients attending two old age psychiatric day hospitals showed that 29 received medication from the day hospital, 44 from general practitioners and 60 from both sources. Many of the patients' knowledge of their drug treatment was incomplete. Of those individuals interviewed, approximately equal numbers expressed a preference for day hospital and general practitioner prescriptions. The origin of the prescription did not bear any obvious relationship to subsequent admission to hospital or continued attendance at the day hospital.
