GP Resources
I started writing these resources in 2018. Working as a GP with an interest in mental health, my clinical experiences gave a me a strong drive to understand the actual evidence behind mental health conditions and their treatments so I could better help and inform patients. I have set this basic site up to more easily share them with my patients. They are not intended to be exhaustive or definitive guides, they are simply what I would share with patients if I had unlimited consultation time, based on my own clinical experience and reading of the evidence base.

These resources are regularly updated. Feedback from patients and clinicians is very welcome - suggestions, comments on what is helpful, differing perspectives, or relevant new evidence I haven't yet included. I am always open to updating my views as new evidence arises. The aim is to keep improving the usefulness of the information. Please say whether you are a patient or clinician when giving feedback. Many thanks.
