“I will give you the classic example of a Friday evening: a carer notices that his partner in need of help is becoming angry and aggressive. The carer calls the GP, but he does not answer immediately. Another doctor, who knows the situation even less, is called in and who decides to have an emergency admission, or even more so, a forced admission to a psychiatric facility. These are situations that we can avoid if there is a reference doctor, who can give the right advice to the doctor to support the patient and the carer .”
