Abstract: Healthcare professionals in primary and secondary care should monitor the physical health of people with serious mental illness, yet in practice this does not appear to be a routine intervention. Our objective is to develop evidence-based training for healthcare professionals to enable them all to offer better physical care to this population. We performed a systematic search with the aim of evaluating the current evidence of the efficacy of education interventions. Search terms covered Severe Mental Illness, … Show more

“…It is notable here that physical activity does not figure much in preparation of nurses, especially with respect to health promotion (as distinguished from health education) (Whitehead, 2007).
