Liaison psychiatry, or consultation liaison psychiatry as it is called in some jurisdictions internationally, is not simply a niche subspecialty but rather an area that should be considered central and relevant to all practising psychiatrists in a range of clinical settings, because of the high prevalence of medical comorbidity, the bidirectional interplay between physical and mental health, and the role of the consultant in linking psychosocial with biomedical care (Grover, 2023). With this two-part series in BJPsych Advances we wish to reinforce the idea of liaison psychiatry as an integral part of psychiatric practice and continuing professional development.
