Wellbeing and Physical Health Checks

This service offers Recovery Service clients the opportunity to have wellbeing and physical health checks recorded and completed by a Mind in Bexley staff member. At the health checks, staff will take the client’s blood pressure and record their weight. They can also offer advice and signpost to other services which may be beneficial to the client’s wellbeing needs.

The information gathered can also be sent to the client’s GP – if consent is given – so that their records can be updated. We recommend health information can be forwarded to your GP. This is particularly important for clients with a serious mental health illness.

The health check appointments are available every other week, on either a Thursday or Friday morning between 10am and 12:30pm.

Clients registered with the Bexley Recovery Service can sign up using the Registration Form.

Annual health checks for people with severe mental health conditions (SMI)

Mind in Bexley has also launched a campaign to highlight the importance of people with a severe mental illness (SMI), including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, having physical health checks – through their GP/local health centre.
