## Notice

Reducing Health Inequalities around Physical Health Checks for People with Severe Mental Illness programme. The aim of this service is to support a reduction in health inequalities for people with SMI by increasing access to PHC and improving the quality of this experience. This one year, non-recurrent funding from NHS England will increase staffing capacity for targeted work across Calderdale by developing a leadership and training champion role that can consistently increase best practice across the PCN's. This provision will work alongside existing staff, with a particular focus on Primary Care staff. The aim is to support and encourage practices to increase both access to and the quality of the physical health checks to reduce health inequalities for people with SMI. This increased support will encourage practices to use the available health information and co-designed resources, completion of Health Action Plans and to increase tests and interventions that reduce the risk of preventable health conditions. High level objectives of the service are: - To provide leadership and educational approaches to staff delivering the health checks and other practice staff, to increase the uptake and quality of SMI Health checks and Health Action Plans. - To provide training for staff to support sustainable change around best practice in a consistent manner across the multidisciplinary teams in PCN's. - To support consistent use of commissioned resources such as the co-designed practice resource pack, patient invitation letters and films to support best practice across Calderdale. - To support the 21 GP practices in Calderdale and their patients registered with an SMI, to promote a personalised care approach including positive lifestyle changes. - To support work with a range of multi-agency services such as VCSE and Mental health practitioners to promote integrated working to reduce health inequalities. Specific service elements inc but not limited to: - To provide leadership and training around developing consistent best practice - To provide a high level of communication and multidisciplinary working - To have knowledge and experience of working in primary care - To use available clinical system data to identify and target effective strategies for using best practice for people with SMI in PCNs and GP surgeries - To work closely alongside existing practitioners to ensure a collaborative approach - To support staff across PCN's delivering PHC both directly and indirectly The NHS E funding of approx. 110K, is non recurrent and an approach is proposed that supports building best practice and resources that will continue in the PCN's after the role has ended.
