Integrating primary care across the prison and community interface

Abstract

The prison population is commonly misconceived as static and distinct from patients served by community primary care.1 In reality, given an annual throughput of over 250 000,2 an average custodial sentence length of just under 20 months,3 and high rates of recidivism,4 the UK prison population is highly dynamic. Responsibility for the care of most patients, therefore, regularly passes between prison and community primary care practitioners.
