GP practices and the impact of health inequalities

CQC Connect

In this second podcast focusing on the CQC GP Inequalities Project, Annabelle Stigwood, joint project lead, talks to Dr Faizan Ahmed, National Clinical Advisor at the CQC, and Dr Bola Olowabi, Director - Health Inequalities at NHS England and NHS Improvement. In this episode, we discuss health inequalities and how they impact on the ability of GP practices to do their job. Our guests discuss what we mean by health inequalities, why it's so important to focus on them in health and social care, and the role of providers, systems and regulators in addressing them.
