Annual health checks for people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or psychosis
If you have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or psychosis, you are entitled to a free Annual Physical Health Check at our practice.
This check helps monitor your physical health and can help to spot any problems early, so you can get the right support as soon as possible.
It also gives you the opportunity to talk about your wellbeing and any medication side effects.
It includes:
- A chat about your mental and physical health
- An offer to check your weight, height and blood pressure
- An offer of a blood test
- A chat about your medication
- Questions about your health and wellbeing
- Advice or referrals for further support
Appointments usually last 30–45 minutes, and you can bring someone with you if that helps.
If you think you are eligible and would like to book your Annual Physical Health Check, or if you have any questions please speak to your registered GP Practice who will be able to help.
