Regulators’ Pioneer Fund project: Regulatory recognition and sharing of innovative practice by NHS GP providers to reduce health inequalities

In September 2021, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), in partnership with Yorkshire and Humber Academic Health Science Network, submitted a successful joint bid to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) through the Regulators’ Pioneers Fund. Our successful bid was for funding for a project to explore how our regulatory process could capture and consider innovation in GP practices to respond to health inequalities.
