Abstract
Gypsy, Roma and Travellers remain a marginalised and poorly understood group, and there is poor engagement with healthcare services. A literature review highlighted their healthcare needs and experiences, revealing three main themes: infrastructure barriers, perceived support need and autonomy, and healthcare professionals’ cultural competence. This article focuses on health visiting, but holds relevance for broader community nursing services. Nurses and health visitors alike play a role in reducing health inequalities and improving lives across populations.
