DIAMONDS Update 13th of April 2023

This week's DIAMONDS news:

This week the NIHR have published an NIHR Evidence Collection on Supporting the physical health of people with severe mental illness.

The collection features an Alert based on our DIAMONDS QUEST research "People with severe mental illness need personalised support to manage long-term physical conditions"

"People living with severe mental illness often have poorer physical health than the general population. This Collection brings together recent examples of published and ongoing research, funded or supported by the NIHR. It makes suggestions which could improve care including personalised support, annual physical health checks and thinking about conditions that often cluster together."

Participant Update - Fantastic news, we now have forty-two participants recruited to our DIAMONDS randomised controlled trial!

Congratulations this week to South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust the winners of our delicious Chocolate gift.

Congratulations South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for recruiting five participants to our DIAMONDS randomised controlled trial. Your chocolate gift will be on it's way to you! Well done!

A reminder to all other participating sites that haven't reached five participants yet - you will also receive a box of chocolates once you recruit five participants into the DIAMONDS trial.
