Most of this guideline is fairly obvious – treat people with respect and take a holistic approach.

The main thing that is new and will impact on us, is that they advise that patients should be given a copy of their initial referral letter to the mental health services. How this will actually work in practice hasn’t been specified.

At initial referral, they should also be seen within 3 weeks (unless they change their offered appointment date, in which case it can be put back by up to 2 weeks).

"I started working as a locum GP in January this year and NASGP have been invaluable in helping to co-ordinate my bookings and organise all the administrative aspects of sessional work which can be complex and time consuming. Their client support is outstanding and they have always resolved any queries promptly and personally. They care about the service they provide and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any sessional GPs who want to minimise time spent on administration and focus on providing patients with high quality care."
