4. www.primhe.org.uk

6. Increase in GP training in mental health

7. GPs to listen and understand

8. A better understanding of the different types of mental illness by GPs. What is happening on the inside does not always show on the outside.

9. Listen to what is really the issue

10. Give me time Believe me

11. How and what type of information to give to patients about their illness I don’t understand the information about medication. Do I have a choice?

12. I want to be listened to by a person who understands not just by an automated machine.

13. There is no word for mental ill health in my language

14. I need to access help and support at home whilst my wife is ill

15. Dementia is scary. Can I stay at home with my wife?

16. I need support and understanding for me and my daughter.

17. Can I talk to someone about my mum?

18. Access to services quickly when me or my family need it

19. I need to be registered........

20. A closer working with the Community mental health teams. This is seen as something that is important as it does not really happen at the moment

21. A better review system when someone’s receiving medication. Having someone receiving the same medication year on year should not be happening in most cases.

22. I think it is important that GPs understand how important staying employed is.

23. I was scared and no one at college understood me. My GP did not judge me.

24. GPs to know that they are important . We are worried about the cuts.

25. Not to be afraid of advocating the use of alternative provider services to their patients.

26. GPs to realise that Psychological Therapies are not for everyone and neither are tablets.

27. People are all different and what suits one does not necessarily suit another so there needs to be alternative treatments available.
