Self-directed online training
Event description
The physical care of people with a mental health problem is increasingly recognised as an essential part of their overall care, and has become a major public health issue. In the future, it is expected that co-existing medical conditions will be found to be the rule, rather than the exception (Meadows et al.,2007). It is increasing being recognised that good mental health care will, in future, include some routine monitoring of physical health (Muir-Cochrane, 2008). This topic will assist you to recognise the importance of the connection between physical and mental wellbeing and the impact of medical conditions on mental health.
