Severe mental illness annual health checks
An SMI (Severe Mental Illness) physical health check is a free, annual and comprehensive assessment for adults (18+) with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, psychosis or bipolar disorder. We have a team of experienced healthcare assistants who carry out these checks on behalf of GP Practices across Coventry and Warwickshire.
