Question

Can a GP continue to play a central role when a mobile crisis team works, very intensively and for a brief period, with the context in order to avoid an admission to hospital?

Problem description

Team ERIC is working with a contextual and a systemic therapeutic approach, in which the GP is less prominent and the work is for a short period often highly specialised (there may be relatively many psychiatrists are involved), highly transparent (shared professional secrecy) and highly targeted (avoid hospitalisation), in collaboration all available professional and non-professional resources. The MTA vision and reality differs from this type of approach

Impact - effect

If we were to evolve into a “prototype 2a-team” such as team ERIC, we can predict that this will have affect significantly the collaboration with the partners

To do

To do: we can wonder whether we will continue to give a central role to the GP and the treating doctor.  We think we’ll do, and will continue to see this collaboration as an important issue and objective in the development of our MTA
