We have a team of first contact Mental health practitioners, they are specially trained clinicians who can offer support and advice about a wide range of mental health symptoms. If you select "mental health problem" when using the prioryCARE form your request may be actioned by a member of the Mental Health practitioner team.
Mental Health Physical Health Review
People with severe mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, non-organic psychosis or those who take certain medications (mood stabilisers or antipsychotics) have a lower life expectancy of 15-20 years compared to the general population. This is mainly due to physical health needs being overlooked – these underlying health problems can be treated such as high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes. The earlier we can detect these issues the better the chance of reducing these risks or help prevent further harm. Once diagnosed with SMI you will be offered an annual review, even if your mental health is stable or you not longer take medication as your increased risk remains.
What will the review entail?
Each year we will need to collect some information from you – this includes
We will also check that you are up to date with blood tests that check your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. We try to gather as much data as possible via a digital messaging system however if this is not possible, we can arrange a further appointment.
