Welcome to the Primary Care Mental Health Association, the only UK group for GPs with an interest or working in advanced roles in any aspect of mental health.

On this site you will find links to key mental health guidance, tools to help you in your practice, and CPD links to evidence your expertise in this area. Remember, you do not need specific accreditation to work as a GP with an extended role in any area of mental health – you just need to evidence your competencies within your annual GP appraisal.

You will also find a forum where you can ask questions, network and share knowledge with colleagues (you must be a GMC-registered doctor with an nhs.net address to have access to this forum).

We are a new organisation and our site is still developing. Please bear with us if things are missing, but feel free to contribute suggestions via the ‘About’ page.
