Survey

Suffolk User Forum is working with our partners in the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care System (SNEE ICS) to develop improved services for people living with Severe Mental Illness (SMI), through promoting Annual Health Checks and offering peer support to help people meet their healthcare goals identified at their annual health check and where people living with SMI have early warning signs of cardio-vascular disease.
This survey will help us target what types of information people need to help them to look after their physical health.
When you take part in this survey your answers will be anonymous. We will use the findings to write a report.
This survey is for people living with an SMI which includes, Schizophrenia, Bipolar or Psychosis. There are 21 brief questions, and it will take about five minutes to complete.
If you do not have an SMI but would like to know more about annual health checks for yourself, please visit the following NHS website where you can find out more: How do I get an NHS Health Check? - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
