Levelling up or left behind? are GP training opportunities in northern Ireland widening or closing the gap on health inequalities?

Postgraduate training practices had a statistically significant lower deprivation score and did not fully reflect the socioeconomic make-up of wider NI general practice. The results, however, are more favourable than in other areas of the UK and better than undergraduate teaching opportunities in general practice. Health inequalities will worsen if the representation of general practice training in areas of greater social economic deprivation is not increased.
