This rapid review of the literature looks at guidelines, standards and best practice for the effective provision of mental health services in primary care. The review used a defined search strategy to retrieve systematic reviews, meta-analysis or synthesis papers. A separate strategy was used to retrieve guidelines and standards. The main sections of the report cover the context and the current challenge presented by mental health in Northern Ireland; the review methodology; key principles of an ideal service model; synthesis of review level evidence; comparison of review level evidence and the key principles of an ideal model; and concluding comments. The findings and recommendations look at specific conditions separately, including: depression and anxiety; mental health and the Northern Ireland conflict; stigma; screening; suicide and self-harm; GAD; alcohol dependency and mental health; prevention; older people; dementia; and schizophrenia. This is one of a series of research reviews focussing on priorities identified through the Action Plan that supports the response to the Bamford Review Bamford Review of Mental Health and Learning Disability Recommendations in Northern Ireland.
