Title of paper: Developing user personas to capture intersecting dimensions of disadvantage in marginalised older patients: a qualitative study
Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0412
Equity is an important core value in primary care, but meeting the needs of patients who are multiply disadvantaged is increasingly difficult as services become more digitised. User personas (fictional cases based on empirical data which draw together and illustrate the multiple intersecting elements of disadvantage) could help practices better plan for the needs of disadvantaged groups.
