It seems that increasingly patients are being referred to primary care teams and GPs in health centres rather than to psychiatrists in a hospital setting. With the growth in the number of patients being maintained in the community, it is becoming more important to pay attention to this sphere and to aid primary care teams to be clinically effective. It was from this perspective that I became involved as facilitator to a primary care team on a one year project.
