Title of paper: Can Primary Care Networks contribute to the national goal of reducing health inequalities? A mixed method study
Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0258
Primary Care Networks are an important policy development in English primary care, with an additional contract supporting practices to work collaboratively. Policy makers intend that they will tackle local health inequalities. Our research suggests that there is potential for them to achieve this, but it will require: continued weighting of funding formulas to account for deprivation; redistribution of funds and other resources internally to support the most deprived practices; managerial support, particularly for PCNs with deprived populations; and realistic and achievable targets for PCN action.
