Understanding Mental Health: conditions, caring, and contexts - Dr Miles Mack RCGP
In the first podcast of our new series, Professor Rab Houston is in conversation with Dr Miles Mack, Past chair of RCGP Scotland and a GP partner in Dingwall, Scotland.
General Practice is the backbone of the British NHS and GPs provide a vital role in providing medical health care to patients registered to their practices. They provide continuity of care and a comprehensive approach, both in the first point of care and coordinating ongoing care for long term conditions. This podcast discusses their work in mental health, its relationship to physical well being and how they provide an interface with the hospital and specialist services in the wider health and care services.
