Concept Explainer: Missingness

This Concept Explainer looks at Missingness, a term recently used in health
and social care, which describes the recurring pattern of not taking up offers of care or support, often across different services, which over time can have a negative impact on individuals and their health and wellbeing.

It has been created as part of GCPH's work with Glasgow University and is informed by the work of Prof Andrea Williamson and Dr Calum Lindsay - University of Glasgow - Schools - School of Health & Wellbeing - Research - General Practice and Primary Care - Research - Developing interventions to reduce "missingness" in healthcare
