Health inequalities resources
PCRS has launched a new series of resources on health inequalities, bringing together key guidance about caringfor people with respiratory disease who are impacted by health inequalities and severe mental illness. The resources include a podcast series that aims to help you address the issues raised byt these conditions and come up with strategies to help your patients. A newsletter outlines practical steps that primary care and out-of-hours services can take, and signposts to useful resources.
