Deep End Conference 2021: 50 years of the inverse care law
(May 2021)
It is 50 years since The Lancet published Julian Tudor Hart’s seminal paper describing the inverse care law. It remains as relevant now as it was in 1971, and its importance has been brought sharply into focus during the pandemic.
The last year has highlighted the devastating effects of health inequalities globally and the impact of market forces on healthcare, communities, and individuals.
This timely conference reflected on the inverse care law; the origins of the GPs at the Deep End and its work; before reviewing progress in health inequalities and considering what still needs to be done.
