Please note:the GP Psych Support Service is not appropriate for emergency cases. GPs that have patients with a high risk of suicidal ideation; suicidal intent; or risk to others should not submit an enquiry about these patients to GP Psych Support but refer them to acute psychiatric emergency services. Where a patients risk is assessed as low to moderate risk in each of the three risk categories the GP is permitted to submit an enquiry for response. The responsibility for clinical management decisions remains the sole responsibility of the treating GP.
