Integrating the single homeless into mainstream general practice

Health Trends. 1993;25(3):112-3.

Abstract

This paper describes the findings from a programme in central Nottingham, which aimed to provide non-institutionalised health services to single homeless people. The results show a high degree of acceptance of the programme by such people. It is argued that involvement in existing mainstream health services is particularly appropriate for the growing number of young people who are homeless, and for whom there is hope of rehabilitation within the community.
