People living with chronic pain, musculoskeletal conditions and mental health problems often experience fragmented care. This rapid evidence review explores how integrated, person-centred primary and community care can better support their physical, psychological and social needs.
In this document, we present seven principles for equitable implementation of interventions, services and programmes. They reflect patterns in the evidence to help decision-makers understand what works and apply this while also taking into account contextual factors, such as the organisational landscape and governance structures.

Returning to work can be a deeply unequal experience for disabled people, shaped not only by health needs but by workplace assumptions, discrimination and inflexible systems. This blog reflects on the pressure to work, the impact of ableism, and why valuing people beyond economic productivity is essential.
This video accompanies the Health Equity Evidence Centre Guide to Co-production in the NHS and features the authors in conversation. In this episode, they share the different reasons and experiences that led them to become involved in co-production.
In the third and final blog of our three-part series, we explore how central digital and data are to the ambitions of the 10 Year Health Plan for England — and what that means for health inequalities. From the NHS App as the new “front door” to more systematic use of social risk data and patient-reported measures, we examine where the choices made now will determine whether digital transformation narrows gaps or widens them.
As the government promises to align NHS funding more closely with health need, contracts and payment rules are moving to the centre of the inequalities debate. In the second blog of our three-part series, we examine whether the 10 Year Health Plan’s proposed funding reforms — from revisiting the Carr-Hill formula to introducing capitation and new neighbourhood contracts — can meaningfully redirect resources towards the communities that need them most.
Health inequity is not the product of individual behaviour, but of policy design. Drawing on a comprehensive synthesis of recent evidence, this blog examines why public policies that reshape social and material conditions are more likely to reduce health inequities than those that rely heavily on individual agency, and how a policy-focused framework can help anticipate these effects.
As the NHS shifts care closer to home, neighbourhood health is being positioned as a key lever for reducing inequalities. But will it deliver? In the first blog of our three-part series, we explore what the evidence says about co-located services, Integrated Neighbourhood Teams and community health workers — and what it will take for this agenda to genuinely narrow the gap.
