Physical Healthcare in CMHT’s: Core Offer Framework 1-year-on Evaluation

People with serious mental illness often miss out on regular physical health checks, which can lead to serious health problems going unnoticed. This project is looking at the usefulness of a document that aims to help community mental health teams at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust consider ways to improve physical health of patients with serious mental illness. By comparing the number of physical health checks completed before and after the document was introduced, we are able to understand if the document helped improve services and support better physical health outcomes.
