Dear Dr CHONG
Re: Mr Simon CORDELL D.O.B: 26 January 1981 NHS No: 434 096 1671
109 Burncroft Avenue, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 7JQ
I write to inform you that the above named gentleman has been accepted onto the caseload of the
Enfield Early Intervention in Psychosis Service (EIS), and I am his Care Coordinator.

The EIS work with service users and their families for up to three years for those aged between 1835
years of age, experiencing their first episode of psychosis, or those who are in the first three years of
psychotic illness, living in Enfield.

The EIS offers treatment including:
• Administration of anti-psychotic medicines
• Psychological interventions including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for psychosis and emotional
problems, such as depression and anxiety
• Family interventions
• Vocational recovery
• Relapse prevention & management
• A harm minimisation approach to substance misuse
• Care Coordination
• Social recovery activities

New service users are usually seen weekly to assist with engagement with the service and to help
formulate care plans. The frequency of contact may extend over time depending on the service user’s
needs, the nature of their illness and other factors such as work and studies.

We are required by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to maintain a record of health care checks made
by GP’s of mentally ill patients on their register.

Mentally ill people have increased morbidity and mortality compared with the general population. Many of
them have unhealthy lifestyles resulting in poor physical health and increased mortality due to common
life-threatening conditions and physical ill health. Risk factors, particularly Cardiovascular Disease,
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and diabetes should be identified and managed according to the
relevant guidance through primary care settings.
