Remote & Rural Conference 2019 - Creating a community of care

Horizontal

Overview

Conference currently fully booked.

Rural Scotland accounts for 98% of the land mass of Scotland and nearly a fifth of the population are resident there. Over recent years, the population of rural Scotland has grown at a faster rate than the rest of Scotland, driven by the increase in accessible rural areas.*

Remote healthcare is increasingly an issue across the UK and the rest of the world; large populations are being significantly disadvantaged by geographical location. The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) and Scottish Rural Health Partnership are collaborating to host an inaugural conference in Inverness. The conference will address the study of health and healthcare delivery in the rural environment and how, as providers we can meet these needs with education, training and innovation in health technology.

Conference attendees will be able to hear from some of the most inspirational practitioners in the field of remote and rural medicine, some of whom have experience of practising in extreme circumstances. You will also have an opportunity to learn skills at workshops and share knowledge, experience and best practice with other workers in remote and rural medicine.

Be inspired to work in a rural setting – find out more from those who do!
