Welcome
First Contact Clinical is a Social Enterprise. We are experts in Deprivation Medicine. Our focus is on health problems that are more commonly found in disadvantaged areas and communities. We create opportunities for positive behaviour change that reduces the impact of deprivation. We use a range of skills and tools:
| Education and training; |
|---|
| Research and development (including peer-based research); |
| Service delivery, development and redesign; |
| Innovative tools |
By positively changing behaviour, we can improve wellbeing and reduce health inequalities, which will result in a reduction in the use of health and social services.
If you would like to find out more about us and the work we do please feel free to contact us.
