In this podcast episode, the Council's Medical Director and practising GP, Dr Penelope Elix talks with Black Dog Institute Executive Director and Chief Scientist, Professor Samuel Harvey about how doctors can engage with patients, what is best practice for mental health referrals, and additional resources for doctors to support patient care.
