Integrated Health Pleeeeeeease!

There has to be a more effective way of providing health services in this country.

I am currently seeing four different  medical practitioners who have an interest in my mental health:
  1. My GP
  2. My Psychaitrist
  3. My Clinical Psychologist
  4. My Work Doctor
I don't believe there has been one occasion when they have actually spoken to each other in the three years I have been seeing them....not on the phone..nor on email. Just  formal letter with little clinical information.

I NEED AN INTEGRATED HEALTH TEAM!

....One that freely shares information between them..... perhaps even attends a group consultation occasionally.

They each possess valuable information about me such as my medical history, other conditions I'm currently being treated for etc.

I am just becoming a messenger boy between them.

If I'd had an effective targeted medical team I would have been well years ago.
