| Opplysninger | General practitioners' referrals to the medical and nursing arms ofan old age psychiatry service over a 6-month period were examinedretrospectively. Doctors were referred patients with a pastpsychiatric history who had been known to the service, did not livealone and in whom first-line treatments had failed. The nursing teamwere asked to carry out specific therapies by the GPs. There were nodifferences in support, diagnosis or medication between the groups.The need for multidisciplinary input to all referrals to services isstressed.
