Psychosis early intervention services
GPs report difficulties in referring people into early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services, according to new research into the relationships between EIP, specialist and primary care. GPs also report that they have little contact with people who are supported by EIP services, and that they are not included in planning discharge from EIP to primary care. Researchers recommend closer connections between people within EIP services and their general practice, as well as increased collaboration between primary and specialist care.
