The projects, one which looks at managing physical healthcare problems for mental health patients, and the other, an online training package for health professionals to help improve the care planning process, have both been given the accolade ‘highly commended’.

Dr Jaspreet Phull, has developed an interactive app for service users to complete, which includes a questionnaire relating to their physical healthcare needs. This enables mental health professionals to have a full picture of the kind of care plan required for patients accessing mental health services.
