Shine, an innovative project to improve physical healthcare in people with long-term mental health needs, is now five months into its pilot at St Charles’ Danube Ward.
The pilot project team is looking at new systems for assessment and at developing care bundles of treatment which include tailored lifestyle advice and signposting, and appropriate referrals and follow-up. The aim is to systematically test and develop a new system that works for staff and for patients and which translates a targeted assessment into meaningful treatment.
