Our equity programme

We are inclusive – we listen and we act

ABC is extremely proud of its award-winning equity programme. ABC’s Equity team works extensively with more than 30 partners in the region including local authorities, councils, link workers, food banks, housing organisations and charities to target and engage with communities. During the pandemic, it initially targeted those less likely to access vaccination services and who, in many cases, had no existing relationship with primary care. Groups identified during their work were:
• the homeless
• refugees and asylum seekers
• GRT community

Integral to this programme has been the team’s willingness to meet these patients in their own settings – where they feel most comfortable.
