The Primary Care Division of Public Health Wales Inequalities and Inclusion Health team has developed three simple tools to support those working in or with primary care to embed and consider equity during planning.
(Reducing Health Inequalities through Primary Care - Primary Care One)
Tool 1 - An Equity Check List.
This is a rapid 2 page checklist for anyone involved in planning and delivery of primary care services. Its a simple tool which aims to help primary care colleagues keep equity in mind when considering new work or reviewing existing projects.
This is a tool to supporting tool to deliver inclusion health services.
A detailed tool which aims to guide equitable service design, this is an interactive tool, with further detail and links to further information and advice.
These toolkits are similar to other equity tools but have been developed to help the primary care system in Wales specifically. The three different tools aim to support the varying stages of service development, review and commissioning.
