Role of general practitioners in care of long term mentally ill patients.
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess general practitioners' involvement with long term mentally ill patients and attitudes towards their care. DESIGN: Postal questionnaire survey. SETTING: General practices in South West Thames region. SUBJECTS: 507 general practitioners, 369 (73%) of whom returned the questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The number of adult long term mentally ill patients whom general practitioners estimate they have on their lists and general practitioners' willingness to take responsibility for them. RESULTS: 110 respondents had noticed an effect of the discharge of adult long term mentally ill patients on their practices. Most (225) respondents estimated that they had 10 or fewer such patients each on their lists. Having higher numbers was significantly associated with practising in Greater London or within three miles of a large mental hospital and having contact with a psychiatrist visiting the practice. 333 general practitioners would agree to share the care of long term mentally ill patients with the psychiatrist by taking responsibility for the patients' physical problems. Only 59 would agree to act as a key worker, 308 preferring the community psychiatric nurse to do it. Only nine had specific practice policies for looking after long term mentally ill patients and 287 agreed that such patients often come to their general practitioner's attention only when there is a crisis. CONCLUSIONS: The uneven distribution of long term mentally ill patients suggests that community pyschiatric resources might be better targeted at those practices with higher numbers of such patients. Most general practitioners seem to be receptive to a shared care plan when the consultant takes responsibility for monitoring psychiatric health with the community nurse as key worker. The lack of practice policies for reviewing the care of long term mentally ill patients must limit general practitioners' ability to prevent crises developing in their care.

GPs call for additional resources and support in managing these patients, often feeling less equipped than for physical illnesses.
“GPs call for additional resources and support in managing and dedicating time to assist these patients, often feeling less equipped in comparison with their experience in treating patients with physical illnesses [6–9].”
From Exploring patient experiences with a mindfulness course in a general practice setting: a qualitative study. (2025) · cites this paper as [9]
The Results report that many GPs found these patients created substantial work, and the Discussion recommends targeting community psychiatric resources to practices with more such patients. The paper does not report GPs themselves calling for additional resources or feeling less equipped than when treating physical illnesses; it instead says most were willing to manage these patients’ physical problems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
