Cohort information

This cohort contains patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and other psychoses up to and including the reporting period end date and excluding patients in remission.

Purpose

In 2016, the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health (MHFYFV) set out NHS England and NHS Improvement’s (NHSE and NHSI) approach to reducing the stark levels of premature mortality for people living with severe mental illness (SMI) who die 15-20 years earlier than the rest of the population, largely due to preventable or treatable physical health problems.

In the MHFYFV NHSE and NHSI was committed to leading work to ensure that “by 2020-21, 280,000 people living with SMI have their physical health needs met by increasing early detection and expanding access to evidence-based physical care assessment and intervention each year”. This equates to a target of 60% of people on the General Practice SMI register receiving a full and comprehensive physical health check across primary and secondary care. This ambition was reiterated in NHS Long Term Plan (NHS LTP) and associated Mental Health Implementation Plan, with the commitment to increase the number of people receiving physical health checks to an additional 110,000 people per year (in addition to the current 280,000 Five Year Forward View ambition), bringing the total to 390,000 checks delivered each year.

A central, NHS Digital General Practice Extraction Service (GPES) data collection is required to track progress towards these objectives in 2020-21. To ensure monitoring drives the right clinical behaviour, it is crucial that NHSE and NHSI is able to monitor delivery of the full comprehensive health check and to collect benchmarking information on the uptake of the corresponding relevant follow-up interventions and access to national cancer screening programmes.

In addition, in order to understand the impact of the health checks and provide rapid and ongoing policy evaluation, it is important to understand physical health outcomes. Patient-level information is required to monitor these outcomes, for example to understand whether the delivery of a particular follow-up intervention affects individual health check indicator values over time.
