The EQUALISE Study is a realist review that explores which interventions and aspects of routine general practice increase or decrease inequalities for the main drivers of inequalities in life expectancy: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study undertakes a theory-driven review of the existing evidence and aims to develop guidance which can be used in general practice to reduce inequalities and improve services for patients.

This study, titled "Facilitating access to online NHS primary care services - current experience and future potential", aims to understand how the use of internet-based services are advertised and supported in GP surgeries and the benefits and challenges of different approaches used to support internet-based services for patients and staff.

Behavioural weight management programmes (BWMPs) can help prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D) and help people who have T2D reduce their need for medication as well as their risk of complications such as heart disease. We will examine the cost-effectiveness of using non-specialists (health trainers, community members) and technology (internet, phones) to deliver BWMPs for prevention in people at high risk of developing T2D, and treatment in those with a recent diagnosis.

The aim of the programme is to develop and evaluate interventions to enable primary care services to meet the needs of stroke survivors in the community after they have been discharged from specialist rehabilitation. The programme will be split into two themes
Improving Primary Care After Stroke (IPCAS): Development and evaluation of a primary care based model to optimise care of patients post stroke. If effective, this will lead to better long-term meeting of patient needs and allow easier re-access to specialist services if required.
My Life After Stroke (MLAS): Development and evaluation of a structured self-management educational programme to better inform stroke survivors and their carers about stroke, how to cope with its sequelae, and how best to reduce risk of further stroke.
Chief Investigator: Professor Stephen Sutton (Primary Care Unit, University of Cambridge)
This programme aims to develop and evaluate a scalable low-cost intervention to support medication adherence in people prescribed treatment for hypertension in primary care. This will consist of an initial face-to-face component followed by an ongoing digital intervention (e.g. text messaging, smartphone app, web-based intervention).

The key research aims of this project are:
1. To test two versions of the Healthera smart phone app to see if they are acceptable to patient's taking blood pressure lowering medications and whether they can improve their medication taking behaviour.
2. To determine whether it is worthwhile conducting a future trial to explore the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the smart phone app.
