The theme is led by Dr Caroline Mitchell working with the ‘Deep End ‘ NIHR Cluster Research Network GP Lead Dr Tom Lawy (a population of approximately 66,000 people, diverse ethnicities, Index of Multiple Deprivation >40 ).

Methodological expertise: qualitative and quantitative study design and analysis including the development and evaluation of complex interventions in primary care; recruiting for clinical studies in high risk deprived and/or socially excluded populations.

Postgraduate supervision: Clinical Academic Trainees, Masters and PhD students (multidisciplinary).

Research subthemes/ activities:

Strategies to enable inclusive research in underserved populations including working with interpreters, addressing heath literacy barriers, enabling participation of people from ethnic minorities and people living in the most deprived communities or with complex needs
Patient preferences for interpreter services
Improving access to sexual and reproductive healthcare in underserved populations
Social determinants of maternal-foetal outcomes.
Improving uptake of cancer tests and cancer outcomes for people living in the most deprived communities or with complex needs (eg people with dementia-carer proxy decision making)
Multimorbidity: physical health care for people with severe mental illness or who use substances
Interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes for people people living in the most deprived communities/in people from ethnic minorities.
