Learning from others
General Practitioners at the Deep End work in 100 general practices serving the most socio-economically deprived populations in Scotland (where 44-88% of registered patients live in the 15% most deprived data zones).
Their web pages include summaries of discussions, with links to related resources, of deep end learning related to children and vulnerable families.
This includes:
- The GP role in working with vulnerable families (Jan 2010)
- Working together for vulnerable children and families (Sept 2010)
- Child protection in the Deep End (02 Aug 2017)
- Examples of programmes including the Govan Integrated Care Project (SHIP)
