Diagnosis, assessment and management of disorders which present in a variety of settings e.g., general practice, the general hospital, prisons and other forensic settings will be covered, and the legal framework provided by the mental health Act will be studied in detail. Reference will be made to clinical case examples from practice to illustrate the practice of psychiatry in the various settings in which are studied. Referral pathways, the organization of services, and specialist approached to the target population will be addressed to support your practice. 14.
