Writing to the patient
Comments of patients who received a letter following an initial psychiatric out-patient consultation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
In a recent study we compared writing to the patient with writing to the general practitioner after an initial psychiatric out-patient consultation. One of us (R.A.) interviewed the patients at home about two weeks after the consultation, and compared the two groups on satisfaction with the consultation, comprehension of information given by the psychiatrist, and compliance with advice. We felt that the comments of the patients might be of interest, particularly to those who might have considered (or done) something similar.
