The management of and responsibility for the care of people with mental health problems in the community is increasingly being assumed by general practitioners (GPs) and primary care personnel. As primary care groups (PCGs) evolve, so must their expertise in managing people with a wide range of mental health problems. It is expected that all mental health professionals will participate in this development, although it is likely that community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) will be the largest professional group involved, with a significant part to play in the shaping, management and delivery of mental health services. To date, there has been little research into how CPNs are perceived by other primary health care professionals. This study seeks to provide an insight into how GPs assess the contribution of CPNs in primary care. Overall, the results of the study suggest that GPs view CPNs favourably and consider that they have an important role to play. Greater involvement in primary care raises issues about the education and preparation of CPNs, their professional development and supervision needs.
