A programme bringing together primary care trust non-executives and local counsellors from the same patch changed participants' perceptions of each other. PCT non-executives and counsellors were convinced of the benefits of joint working, but unsure how to go about it. Knowledge of each other's worlds was initially poor. Annual structured visits between PCTs and local authorities should be encouraged.
