Based on a study of two London hospitals, the paper argues that, just as NICE guidelines recommend testing people attending A&E for HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B testing should also occur.UK 22 Dec 2020 Reports & Research PDF

Published in March 2020, this report from The King's Fund on health and care for people who sleep rough focusses on reducing barriers people face to accessing healthcare services and on commissioning appropriate services. The report argues that to improve health outcomes for people sleeping rough we need local authorities to team up with charities and community services; we need both a population health approach and a place-based approach; we need co-production with people with lived experience of sleeping rough; and we need staff working with this group to be properly recruited and supported.UK Reports & Research, Strategy & Planning PDF
