Equally Well: Physical Health Checks for People Living with Severe Mental Illness
This unique event is for GPs and their colleagues who provide physical health checks for patients on their severe mental illness registers. Annual health checks are an essential starting point for GPs to address the 20-year life expectancy gap for these patients. We understand that GPs and their colleagues are overstretched and under pressure. This webinar will provide insights and advice about how to efficiently deliver physical health checks in practice, act upon the findings, and overcome the barriers that prevent these checks from being undertaken.
