This paper describes an integrated care programme implemented since 2003 by the Institute of mental health (Imh), a tertiary mental health institution in Singapore. The programme is a collaboration between general practitioners (GPs) and Imh, for the detection and management of patients with mental illnesses in the primary care setting. A survey of the GPs and patients in the programme was carried from June to July 2010. The results show satisfaction and good acceptance of the programme.
