Well Woman Wednesdays is an initiative set up by physical health nurses working within Wotton Lawn Hospital in Gloucester (an inpatient mental health unit consisting of six wards for working age adults with a total of 88 beds).
The 2Gether NHS Foundation Trust has always ensured that physical healthcare for patients is a high priority. While the national CQUIN ‘Improving Physical Healthcare for people with Serious Mental Illness’ has greatly improved opportunity for cardio-metabolic screening over the last few years, we were looking for all possible ways to improve access to other screening and physical health initiatives.
