Core20Plus

The project aims to remove barriers to access, build trust and create opportunities for connectors to shape services to better meet the needs of inclusion health communities and deprived neighbourhoods.

The Core20PLUS Connectors programme is part of the NHS goal to tackle healthcare inequalities: Exceptional quality healthcare for all through equitable access, excellent experience, and optimal outcomes. The Connectors programme is part of the support framework for progressing the goals of Core20PLUS5, a national NHS England and NHS Improvement approach to support the reduction of health inequalities at both national and system level. The approach defines a target population cohort – the ‘Core20PLUS’ – and identifies ‘5’ focus clinical areas requiring accelerated improvement. 

Focus

The focus is on communities that are not accessing the range of services available to help them maintain their health and wellbeing. Currently, the data we have, shows some of these groups include people from LGBTQ+, travellers, victims of domestic abuse, refugees and the homeless communities, who may have poorer health outcomes as a result.
