Deep End Network Programme

Description

Durham County Council holds the budget for the regional Integrated Care System (ICS) Prevention Board, which funding for the Deep End Network Programme is to be transferred to Gateshead Local Authority to facilitate the delivery of services across the ICS via the Deep End Network Programme from 1st December 2022 until 31st March 2023. Deep End cohort definition aligns with the Core20 approach in focussing on the most deprived populations (Deep End practices are in the bottom decile nationally for proportion of patients from the 15% most deprived areas). The Deep End perspective is that that testing targeted approaches and interventions with practices with the majority of their list size from the most socioeconomically challenged groups can also benefit deep end patients in other practices (sharing evidence and learning). A key part of the network is also advocating for resource allocation to reduce health inequalities (and building on the data we have already to support this).
