FAIRSTEPS

The Framework to Address Inequalities in pRimary care using STakEholder PerspectiveS (FAIRSTEPS) study involved a comprehensive review of existing material, insights from healthcare professionals and a deep understanding of patient perspectives from our Deep End PPI group. 

All of this information was brought together to produce a step-by-step framework and interactive toolkit to help primary care serviced reduce health inequalities for their local populations

"As a PPIE member for the FAIRSTEPS study – my most meaningful and favourite part was when we helped shape priority interventions for networks and practices; primary care commissioners; and education and training providers. This was done through several meetings discussing vignettes where we openly and vigorously shared our views and lived experiences and community perspectives discussing services and interventions that would realistically benefit patients and be culturally appropriate with local communities, often underrepresented and commonly unable to access health and care services.  All the researchers, especially Ben, were extremely welcoming, polite and non-judgemental, and this was a key factor in wanting to get more involved in the study."
