Paper: Experiences of general practice care for self-harm: a qualitative study of young people’s perspectives

https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0091

Young people who self-harm present to GPs in the NHS, but their perceptions of care remain largely unexplored. This qualitative study indicated that young people sought help from a variety of services, including non-statutory services and NHS services. Young people described mixed experiences of consulting GPs, which can influence help-seeking from general practice. A relationship with one GP who listens, appears to understand, and offers proactive follow-up is an important facilitator for young people who access general practice for self-harm.
