The SMI Physical Health Check project has been reaching out to our existing clients and encouraging them to request their annual health check with their GP. We have been getting in touch via phone or zoom, as well as inviting them in groups of 5 for healthy walks/chats to empathise the importance of these checks. We successfully delivered 2 training session with the Reception/admin staff for all Brent GP surgeries, raising awareness of mental health and arrangements for annual health check invitations for all their SMI patients. We are now taking this a step further and reaching out to the wider community, such as mental health and learning disabilities residential, nursing and supported living homes so that they can support the SMI Physical health checks. We are also supporting one of our excellent partners, the MAFW Team by offering mental health awareness training as well as inviting their service users to request Annual Health Checks.
