The British Psychological Society pledge to the Equally Well Charter:
Psychological assessment and formulation uniquely uses a biopsychosocial approach to consider the whole person including both physical and mental health. The British Psychological Society advocates that all health and social care practitioners practise individualised care and consider a person holistically as so often physical and mental health are intrinsically linked. For example, the Society has produced a position paper on dementia and is working on a paper regarding autism. These advocate that people with dementia and people with autism receive equal treatment of co-occurring conditions. These messages have been and will continue to be shared with MPs commissioners and wider stakeholders.

Chief executive, Sarb Bajwa said: “The British Psychological Society are determined to address inequity by working collaboratively with other health professions in raising standards and training to ensure that those living with mental illness can access the healthcare they need.”
