primhe believes that all Primary Care Professionals (PCPs) need essential core skills to deal with people in distress, with, ... or without, a diagnosis of a mental illness.

It is also hard to imagine many consultations with a conscious patient where the brain-mind is not present, so primhe believes that PCPs must be adequately trained and supported to address this issue. primhe was actively involved in submitting evidence to the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QoF) Review and will continue to do so, as it works to lever the whole person (and not merely their constituent parts) and their condition(s) back into general practice consultations. People present with issues and needs and in various predicaments before they acquire a diagnosis (which can itself be an inappropriate response). primhe therefore believes that excellent primary care is not merely treating to targets; it is about whole-person predicamental health care. primhe works to help people "Dump Descartes" and his time-expired and non evidence-based brain/mind-body and physical-mental dualistic paradigms. read more
