Opinion: Psychiatrists should routinely write to patients after appointments

Psychiatrists should routinely write to their patients about their care following appointments, according to a new opinion piece published on Dec. 4. Writing in the BMJ, Dr. Katharine Weetman from the University of Birmingham and Dr. Dave Martin from the University of Bristol and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust make the case for regular correspondence between mental health clinicians and their patients, in the same way that other branches of medicine do.
