Integrating mind and body :: King's Health Partners
Integrating mind and body
We take a mind and body approach, integrating mental and physical health across everything we do.
Evidence shows that by joining up care, we can help people to manage different conditions, improve health outcomes, and even prevent unnecessary health problems by identifying risk early. We can also begin to
address the inequalities in health outcomes experienced by people with mental illness:
The average life expectancy for someone with a long-term mental health illness or learning disability is 15 - 20 years shorter than for someone without.
30% of people with long-term physical health conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis or heart problems, also have a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety.
Nearly half of all people with diagnosed mental illness also have at least one, and often more, long-term physical conditions.
Our flagship Mind & Body Programme provides a separate, dedicated workstream for a range of projects. You can find out more about their work by clicking the tile below.
