The collaboration between psychiatrists and general practitioners (GPs) in the UK is essential for providing effective mental health care to patients. This interplay between GPs and psychiatrists allows for a more holistic approach to treating mental health issues, as GPs can provide initial diagnosis and treatment while psychiatrists can provide specialist advice and intervention. This partnership is successful in reducing the amount of time it takes to diagnose and treat mental health issues, as well as improving patient outcomes. Therefore, both GPs and psychiatrists must be aware of the role they play in collaborative care.
