Training, Webinars and Consultations.

The Health Social Care and Sport Committee in Parliament has just launched an inquiry in to Remote and Rural Healthcare where they are asking people to let them know what the priority areas are that they should be looking at in more detail later in the year.

The Committee has set up a site where you can share your ideas with them. Participants are invited to add their ideas and issues to the platform and also rate and comment on other ideas. This will give the committee an indication of the issues relating to healthcare in rural and remote areas that matter most to people and support wider community engagement with people living in these areas of Scotland.
