Review of the early discharge summary in the Grampian area

Royal Cornhill Hospital, Cornhill Road, Aberdeen, AB9 2ZH

The psychiatric discharge summary is an important means of communication between general practitioners (GPs) and psychiatrists and invaluable in the continuity of patient care. The early discharge summary therefore needs to provide relevant information for GPs during this vulnerable period. We surveyed GPs in the Grampian area in order to obtain information felt to be most relevant and the results were incorporated into a new semi-structured format which is now currently being used in the Grampian area.
