Our Approach to Tackle Health Inequalities in the community

Our practice is dedicated to reducing health inequality by continuously implementing and promoting strategies to deliver equitable healthcare for all our patients and the community.

Understanding Health Inequalities

Health inequalities arise from various factors including socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender, and geographical location. The Grange Medical Practice address these crucial disparities to ensure everyone receives equal and personalised care.

How are we tackling it?

1

Inclusive Care
Delivery:

We are making our services available to everyone. Including those who may face challenges such as language barriers, disability, economic difficulties, or digital exclusion, by providing translation and interpreter services and support for patients with additional needs to ensure that they receive the care without any obstacles.

2

Community Engagement:

We are actively engaged with diverse communities by going to Churches, Temples, Mosques, and Gurudwaras to better understand everyone’s health needs and challenges. We believe by collaborating with community groups, we can improve our services and outreach efforts to address the unique needs of different populations within our area.

3

Training and
Awareness:

Our team works to identify and address inequalities and provide care which respects cultural values. We make sure that all patients receive respectful and fair treatment, regardless of their background.

4

Data-Driven Decision Making:

We use data and patient feedback to identify and address areas for improvement. By monitoring health outcomes and patient experiences, we better understand where inequalities exist and take targeted action to address them.

Nationally, there’s often lower health check uptake among BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) communities, but we’re bucking the trend! In the first quarter, 44% of our NHS health check attendees were from BAME backgrounds, alongside 56% of White British patients. Other factors contributing to health inequalities include things like social deprivation and education. Together, we’re closing the gap and building a healthier, more inclusive community.

Designated Care Coordinator Team

We understand that few people have unique healthcare needs and requires additional support navigating the complex needs. That’s why we’ve established a Dedicated Care Coordination Team to ensure that everyone receives the best possible care & support.
