Supporting with physical health checks
Mental health and physical health are closely linked. If our bodies are healthy, it’s more likely that our minds will be too. My Practice, My Mind helps support residents to engage with annual, physical health checks who otherwise might not get them.
People with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) need to take extra care of their physical health and are invited for annual physical health check-ups at your registered GP surgery.
A physical health check is an important first step towards taking charge of your physical health and being as well as you can be.
