Traveller gypsies have resided in the British Isles for over 500 years, making them one of our oldest ethnic minorities. They experience widespread prejudice and discrimination from the settled population. In the sphere of health care the marginalization of traveller gypsies has resulted in poor access to services and relative neglect of their health needs. In this paper the health of traveller gypsies is reviewed from the perspective of primary care, and the role of general practitioners in improving health care for this community is discussed.
流动吉普赛人在不列颠群岛居住了500多年,是我国最古老的少数民族之一。他们遭受着来自定居人口的广泛偏见和歧视。在医疗保健领域,流动吉普赛人的边缘化导致他们难以获得服务,其健康需求也相对被忽视。本文从初级保健的角度审视了流动吉普赛人的健康状况,并讨论了全科医生在改善该群体医疗保健方面的作用。
