| Popis: | Proactive steps have been taken by the public healthcare sector in Singapore to bring about awareness of mental health in terms of mental health promotion, early recognition and seeking help, with an increasing focus on making mental healthcare accessible and delivering it within the community setting where possible. Examples are the Mental Health General Practitioner Partnership Programme, National Mental Health Blueprint and Community Mental Health Masterplan. The current challenge is to train and involve more primary care doctors in the care of persons with mental health conditions. This paper describes the goals of psychiatric training in primary care and the avenues for training that are available to family medicine residents and family physicians. |
