Physical Health Checks for those with Serious Mental Illness – Face to Face Community of Practice at Taunton Rugby Club
|
You may have already heard news of this event via your system lead(s) for annual health checks for those with serious mental illness. The South West NHSE Mental Health Programme team and the blended Health Inequalities team are inviting colleagues from commissioners and providers (statutory and non-statutory) and digital and analysts leads, to this event. The focus of the session will be to share and celebrate the progress that has been made in the South West and to facilitate the discussions to move to post health check interventions. We are excited to be joined by Jill Crook, SW Director of Nursing Professional and System Development / Director Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Autism, Children and Young People and national leads for health inequalities and for annual health checks for those with serious mental illness.
This Community of Practice keeps things simple and informal, seeking everyone’s views and inputs to help address some of the inequalities we are aware of for people with severe mental illness, orientated around the ambition “we could do so much more” in this space.
If ICS Health Inequalities SROs or their nominated leads wish to join this event, please do contact england.southwestmh@nhs.net
