Physical health monitoring
• In April 2011 the physical health STR workers
from EL clinical treatment team (EL CTT) began
to correlate the results of the rethink physical
health checks. Initially this was simply to
ascertain the prevalence of previously
unidentified health needs within their client
group. The results of the April trial led to this
being continued over a two year period (April
2011 – April 2013)
