One of the primary projects of the PCN in 2021/22 is to start to work towards reducing health care inequalities. The PCN has recruited a care co-ordinator who will be working on a number of related projects that aim to combat this.
Starting in January 2022 the PCN will be hosting patient participation groups for the Somali community. The Somali community suffer from a wide range of health care inequalities and specific health care needs. The initial aims of this group are to listen to the community and to better understand what their needs are and how we can help.
From Q3 2021 the PCN has been reviewing its cancer screening and will be looking to increase the uptake of cervical screening in young Bangladeshi women.
