Gold Coast Health are seeking general practices interested in partnering with the GP Liaison Psychiatry Service from Gold Coast Health’s Mental Health Service.
The GP Liaison (GPL) Psychiatry Service provides a collaborative contact point for GPs and is especially useful for supporting patients who require additional mental health support but may be unable to afford private psychiatry and are not suitable for inpatient or case-management by the Mental Health Service.
This service consists of a psychiatry registrar and part-time consultant psychiatrist, who can support GPs in the care of patients with mental health needs through:
Face-to-face assessments
Case-conferencing
Telephone support
General practitioners are eligible to claim for remuneration for case-conferencing under MBS.
To express interest and for further information, contact:
Dr Neeraj Gill, Consultant Psychiatrist, Gold Coast Health
