A round-up of studies that take a look at inequalities of access in a range of healthcare contexts:
A brief article in Public Health considers the effect of distance on the most socially deprived communities access to dental care in North East England. Access to and use of home healthcare services are found not to be affected by socio-economic status in a scoping review. There's a qualitative study of women's experience of antenatal care in the North West of England, particularly focusing on vulnerable groups. Finally, a study in Social Science and Medicine examines the role of education and income in socioeconomic inequalities in waiting times for elective surgery.
