Community wellbeing is a service in Doncaster
People with mental health problems are well known to have higher rates than in the general population of:
- obesity
- smoking
- heart disease
- stroke
- hypertension
- respiratory disease
- type 2 diabetes mellitus

It is this vulnerability of patients with a serious mental illness diagnosis that makes it essential for health care professionals to proactively reach out and offer support to help adopt healthy lifestyles.
In recognition of this, the National Institute for Health, and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended in 2009 that physical health checks should normally be provided within primary care at least once a year.
