Inclusion Health
Inclusion health describes an approach to prevent and address extreme health inequities.
Populations are diverse but can share common experiences such as social exclusion, extremely poor health, and barriers in accessing services.
They are largely absent in electronic systems meaning their needs can be overlooked. Groups include:
- People experiencing homelessness
- Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
- Sex workers
- Migrants in vulnerable circumstances
- People subject to modern slavery
- People in contact with the justice system
- People experiencing drug and/or alcohol dependence
- Among others e.g. people with experience of the care system
