If you have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or psychosis, you can get a free health check once a year from your GP.

This check is different from other health checks or appointments you may already have.

Your GP should invite you. If they haven’t, you can contact your GP and ask for the check.

It’s your chance to talk about your health and how you’re feeling, ask questions, and get support.
