The emergence of a dual diagnosis pathway within a primary care setting in Cork, Ireland

Abstract

This paper outlines current developments in a local health service in Ireland. It involves the integration of its mental health and addiction services, within the context of a primary, community and continuing care (PCCC) setting. The paper describes how the transformational process was initiated and how the clinicians embraced the opportunity of the co‐location of services to advance the assessment and treatment of dual diagnosis.
