general practice; effectively assess and manage a range of common psychiatric
conditions and refer when necessary to specialists services; and involve
themselves in shared care of psychiatric patients with both acute and chronic
problems and communicate effectively and empathically with patients with
psychiatric illness and with their families and carers.
