Abstract
The functioning of a Day Hospital in the setting of a parent psychiatric hospital over a ten-year period is described. Stress is laid on the source of patient referrals, on the diagnostic categories of patients who attended, and on where the patients were directed to on discharge. The need for keeping community medical services informed about treatment facilities available at the Day Hospital is stressed, and a form of part-time attendance is described.Keywords
