Course in Psychiatry for Family Doctors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
This course was organised so that future general practitioners might learn those aspects of psychiatry which are relevant to their future work. It has been recognised that six months working in a mental hospital is only helpful to the future GP in terms of assessment and treatment of severe psychiatric illness of which the general practitioner sees relatively little. The vast majority of psychiatric illness seen by a general practitioner in his day-to-day work is not represented at all in an in-patient psychiatric unit.
