Mental health problems are evident in 1 in 3 or 4 patients seen in primary care. Many secondary care services for mental health are working towards earlier discharge, making primary care an important place for delivering mental healthcare.

Sheila is keen to improve the care of people with mental health problems in primary care. She has carried out research to show the benefits of practice nurses monitoring the physical health in people with serious mental illness (SMI), and how using a psychological intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can promote self-management.
