Strength of primary care
• Structure– Governance– Economic Conditions of PC system– PC workforce development
• Process– Access to PC services– Comprehensiveness of PC– Continuity of care– Coordination of care

Mental health care : trends in European countries
• General: Decrease in psychiatric beds since the 80’s• General: Introduction of ambulatory mental health
care institutions.• Different supply of psychiatrists and clinical
psychologists in private practices• Only in a few countries a systematic contribution of
primary care or general practice in mental health care is mentioned

Development mainly on secondary mental health care institutions
• Belgium• Italy• Poland
– (some services are provided in primary care)• Romania• Spain
– (although mention is made of mental health care being fully integrated in the health care network

Movement of mental health towards primary care• Estonia
– Provision of services for e.g. depression by GPs has increased the past five years
• France: – many psychiatrists/psychologists in private practice.
However, no GP referral necessary – GPs have 16% of their workload by mental problems
• Ireland: – Increased mental health training for GPs, focused on
detection, assessment and training• Sweden:
– Minor mental health problems within primary care by GPs and psychologists

Developments: towards integration of mental health care in primary care
• UK: – NHS target: 1000 new graduate primary mental health
workers to work with GPs– 500 community mental health staff to work with GPs
• Netherlands– Psychological treatments (up to 5 sessions) reimbursed
within general insurance

Consequences
• Primary care psychologists have to compete with other providers
• Not-psychiatric disorders (such as symptoms of distress, relational problems, unexplained physical symptoms, social problems) have to be treated strictly within General practice or within other social care

Conclusions Challenges for this meeting
• There are many white spots regarding– Prevalence of common mental disorder in primary care
settings in different countries– The way these common mental disorders are treated in
these countries– The barriers faced by PC providers in the treatment of
these disorders– The opportunities existing in different countries for
GPs to collaborate with mental health care providers, such as social workers, psychiatric nurses, psychologists and psychiatrists
