Mental Health and Wellbeing

Around 30% of people attending primary care have a mental health problem - and the Covid-19 pandemic has seen an increase in anxiety, isolation and other mental health issues. In addition, we have an aging population and more people coping with chronic physical and mental conditions. All these factors mean that healthcare professionals need more guidance on dealing with mental health and wellbeing. Those with long-term physical conditions, such as diabetes, are more likely to have mental health issues and will be healthier if both their physical and mental health are considered.
