Title of paper: Understanding access to general practice through the lens of candidacy: a critical review of the literature
Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0033
Dominant conceptualisations of access to health care are often framed in terms of speed and supply — these approaches risk obscuring important aspects of people’s experiences of access. The Candidacy Framework was developed to study access to health care by people in vulnerable groups. This study confirms the salience of the Candidacy Framework for understanding access in the setting of general practice, offering new insights for policy and practice.
