Prison primary care: the main problem impacting quality and access is chronic understaffing.
This is obvious but we need to shout about these macro level issues.
⭐️Have you left prison in the last 2 years or are you serving a community sentence on Probation? Would you like to take part in our consultation about health inequalities? DM for more info ⭐️

@gillmcn01 @criminology describe how peer-led approaches to research can produce counter-discourse to official institutional narratives. Extreme lockdown measures in prisons fed into a severe mental health crisis, while officials heralded them a success. bit.ly/3RZHarN
Don't expect people who have been systematically excluded and kept out of services to jump in when you invite feedback. Trust is quickly eroded but slowly built.
I’m a political anthropologist who studies jails and a psychoanalyst and physician who treats their long-term consequences for individuals and communities. Over the last decade, I’ve learned a few things about what incarceration does to public health and community safety. 1/

Kate McLintock presenting the findings from Qual-P - what was the quality of prison healthcare like for the 30 indicators we looked at? @RCGPSecureEnvi1
Today the @Qual_P team submitted our final report to @NIHRresearch. We looked to understand the quality of primary care for people in prison and how care could be improved (3 yr, mixed methods). Thanks to everyone who took part. Interested to see what the peer reviewers will say!
