Abstract

Objectives

To investigate whether there is an association between differences in travel time/travel distance to healthcare services and patients' health outcomes and assimilate the methodologies used to measure this.

Design

Studies were excluded that included children (including maternity), emergency medical travel or countries classed as being in the global south. SETTINGS: A wide range of settings within primary and secondary care (these were not restricted in the search).
