The new GP with an extended role in population health and health inequalities

General Practice at its best has always had a strong tradition of public health action and advocacy for equity. GPs such as Julian Tudor Hart have been an inspiration for several generations of GPs who have looked at the bigger picture to try and tackle the causes of the physical, mental and social troubles of their patients.

In the last few years, a plethora of roles have sprung up with "population health" and/or "health inequalities" in their role descriptions, which GPs have taken up with enthusiasm. So, how do we enable GPs to work out the new competencies they may need, and how does the public health community include and maximise the potential of this capable workforce?
