The Psychiatric Advice and Consultation Service (PACS) will cease operating on 30 June 2023. PACS has been delivered by The Melbourne Clinic to provide specialist psychiatric consultation and advice to general practitioners in the EMPHN catchment. The program has been funded since 2018, however following an evaluation of the service and review of current demand, the decision has been made to cease the service on 30 June 20023. EMPHN will be working to look at alternative models for general practitioners to access psychiatric support when engaging patients with mental health and psychiatric needs.
