My blunt summary of #PrimroseWorkshop so far It’s difficult to help ppl w severe mental illness improve their physical health. Lots of high quality research has been funded & completed, but how do we translate what we know to the real world? #Fidelity #Intensity #Resources

The @UCLprimrose study found no significant difference in total cholesterol or secondary outcomes, BUT overall costs in the Primrose group were lower than treatment as usual due to lower levels of psychiatric admissions #PrimroseWorkshop
