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, our 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 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.
To sign up, please fill out the Registration Form here: mindinbexley.org.uk/recovery/
