Prof Edward White
Like many of the readers of ACMHN 'news' magazine, I have attended a Mental Health Professionals Network [MHPN] Workshop. I was also recently invited to join a Sydney-based MHPN Focus Group, conducted by researchers from the University of Melbourne.
It was apparent to me, in both settings, that the positive contribution MHN’s could (and should) make to a future Australian community-based mental health service, in which the General Practitioner is to be pivotal, was poorly understood by participants drawn from other disciplines.
Nearly thirty years ago (1981-83), I conducted research into General Practitioner referrals to community mental health nurses (akin to the Mental Health Nurses Incentive Program; MHNIP) and was subsequently commissioned to conduct national censuses for the UK Department of Health in 1995 and 2000, which tracked the development of community mental health nursing, over time.
Readers of 'news' magazine may, therefore, be interested in the following references to these studies, in which [arguably] similar substantive issues may recur in Australia.
In deference to the adage ‘want a new idea? read old reports’, I hope these publications might make a modest, but timely, contribution to raising the level of interest, argument and profile.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any material for publication and advises that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts and correspondence as material cannot be returned.
