Similar Survey

Traditionally, general practitioners and psychiatrists relate to one another through a system of cross referrals, from primary care to secondary care and back again, the referral being initiated by the GP through a request for a domiciliary visit or more usually for an out-patient assessment of the clinical problem. However, in the mid-1960s, individual psychiatrists began to report a new way of working, which consisted of the psychiatrist going by invitation into GPs' surgeries or health centres to work directly with the general practitioners and with other members of the primary health care team. A survey undertaken by Strathdee & Williams of the General Practice Research Unit of the Institute of Psychiatry, showed that by 1984 in England and Wales, one psychiatric consultant in five, sometimes with, sometimes without, junior staff, spent some time in a general practice setting. At the College meeting in Cambridge (April 1988), Pullen reported that in Scotland a similar survey showed that as many as 40 to 50% of psychiatric consultants spent some time in primary care settings.

Psychiatric Clinic

Only a minority suffering from mental illness are treated by the specialist psychiatric service. The majority of psychiatrically ill patients seen in general practice suffer from minor neuroses, personality disorders and situational reactions and can be appropriately treated by the primary care team. However, a significant degree of morbidity, some of it severe, fails to be identified in general practice and the identification and treatment of psychiatric disorder varies according to the GP's interest and attitudes.

Student Supervision

Student nurses are the future of the profession. Shaun Heath explains how changes to the Nursing and Midwifery Council's education standards will effect those currently acting as mentors and how all practice nurses can get involved and contribute to student placement experiences This article explores the Nursing and Midwifery Council's 2018 education standards and how these will affect the role of general practice nurses in primary care settings. The differing roles found in the standards will be discussed, alongside how primary care and the emerging Primary Care Networks can support learners in general practice through communities of practice.
