Physical health assessment for people with a serious mental illness (SMI) has been a neglected issue, with all the evidence showing that mental health nurses (MHNs) and associated practitioners need to develop such skills. The University of Huddersfield and South West Yorkshire Partnership Foundation Trust collaborated in a Physical Skills Project with the aim of facilitating knowledge and skills for MHNs. The development of the education and training workshop is presented. The results of a pre- and post-test evaluation of diabetes, evaluation of the workshop and, finally, implications for practice with regard to transferable knowledge and skill, are discussed.
对患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的人群进行身体健康评估一直是一个被忽视的问题，所有证据都表明精神科护士（MHNs）及相关从业者需要培养此类技能。哈德斯菲尔德大学与南约克郡西部伙伴关系基金会信托基金合作开展了一项身体技能项目，旨在促进精神科护士的知识和技能发展。本文介绍了教育培训工作坊的开展情况。文中讨论了糖尿病前后测试评估的结果、工作坊评估情况，以及最终关于可转移知识和技能在实践中的意义。
