Social gradient in health… • The better the socio-economic position the healthier the person
Do different, think about mental health care in 20 years time… Mental health policy: repetitionand regurgitation
An unfinished revolution? “Care in the community”, “recovery”, “occupation and family life”
Who… • Samantha Callan • Martin Baggaley • David Bolton • Paul Farmer • Peter Fonagy • Ivor Frank • Maggie Gairdner • Richard Gray • Matilda MacAttram • Chris Thompson • David Shiers
The process… • Literature, hearings, polling
Primary care: comorbidity the rule not the exception • Co-morbidity • The physical in the mental • Every patient with SMI requires physical health intervention • The mental in the physical • 50% of MI patients with develop depression, chances are it won’t be picked up or treated

Evidence based training… • Most training does not change practice
Three ideas… Addressing co-morbidity Inpatient units should be PICUs Care brokerage should be done by the third sector Being faithful
