FOI Request
Subject: An FOI request: Treatment as usual in terms of the provision of physical activity opportunities
This email originated from outside of the organisation. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe. If unsure, please contact ghcit@ghc.nhs.uk
I would be very grateful if you could possibly help me. We are undertaking project which aims to describe usual care in terms of current physical activity programmes that are offered to people with severe mental ill health SMI. in NHS Mental Health Trusts in England.
Provision of physical activity PA. programmes varies across the trusts and remains unknown to the wider community of interest. This variation in PA provision for people with SMI has, in some locations, hindered commissioning and evaluation of the programmes. Furthermore, there are no guidelines that specify the optimal PA provision/TAU for those with SMI. This is a further significant gap, given that provision of PA has the potential to reduce the burden on the NHS, communities and society as a whole. Our work/project will produce new knowledge that will be of value to policy makers, commissioners and providers who are involved in the current provision of PA for those with SMI. It is organised by researchers from Sheffield Hallam University, University of York, Northumbria University and King’s College London. It has been funded by the UKRI Policy Support Fund and it has been approved by the Northumbria University Research Ethics Committee. We would be very grateful if you could provide us with information about current physical activity programmes that offered to people with SMI in your Trust. The easiest way to provide this information is through filling out the questionnaire survey. It consists of 19 questions, and it will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. To participate, click on the link below:

I’ve also attached the Word document version of the FOI request. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss with us the provision of PA opportunities for people with SMI during an online meeting or phone conversation, please let us know. I would be very grateful if you could let me know which options is the most convenient for you.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Many thanks and kind regards,
