| Abstract: | Aim : This study set out to investigate general practitioners (GPs) views on a Mental Health Service. It seeks their views on how well the Trust is providing those services and suggestions for change and development of the service. Method : A short survey questionnaire which addressed the major services offered was sent to all GPs in the Grampian region. The data were analysed using non-parametric statistical techniques. Findings : Maybe rather surprisingly, GPs felt that the service provision overall was of a good standard. Two areas which GPs suggested required more provision were highlighted. Conclusion : The survey was used to inform Trust Management of GPs views and as a basis for meetings with GPs about the service. As a result new services have been developed. |
