What is this Journal Club session about?

Join us for a discussion on how clinical guidelines can better support equitable care in general practice. This study explores how GPs use Therapeutic Guidelines when caring for disadvantaged populations, and how equity information could be better integrated into guideline design. Through interviews with Australian GPs using real-world case studies, the authors identify practical ways to make equity information more relevant, visible, and usable — helping clinicians deliver more equitable, context-sensitive care.
