Abstract

Self-harm in young people is becoming increasingly prevalent and we are pleased it is receiving greater health policy and research focus.1,2 The recent editorial by Bailey et al describes the challenge of dealing with self- harm in young people in general practice.3 We agree that managing young people who self-harm within the 10-minute general practice consultation can be a challenge. However, we would like to highlight available opportunities that will enable GPs to maximise the exceptional potential of the general practice consultation.
