Collaboration between primary care medicine and psychiatry is a well-known challenge. In order to improve access to psychological care for patients undergoing primary care, the « group medical practices » project proposes a collaborative care model in which a psychiatrist employed by a public psychiatric institution integrates group medical practices in order to provide assistance to primary care physicians. It is thus able to evaluate patients directly in the practices and to offer supervision and consilium spaces to primary care physicians.
