Psychiatric clinics in general practice. An extension of community care

P Tyrer

The patients seen at five psychiatric clinics in general practice (GP) serving an urban population of 78,200 are described, and their attitudes to the clinic compared with those for conventional out- patient clinics. The GP psychiatric clinics were strongly preferred, mainly because of their ease of access and absence of stigma; 19 per cent of the patients seen would not have attended a hospital clinic. The patients seen encompassed the entire range of psychiatric disorder, but most were treated in the clinic or by other members of the primary care team. It is concluded that GP psychiatric clinics offer a way of achieving better community psychiatry without any need for increased resources.
