Rural Network for Wales
The Rural Network aims to engage with
the rural health care community across Wales to help improve and
promote primary care in the countryside.
The NHS in Wales is currently undergoing a
major reorganisation and there are concerns that primary care in
rural areas will be marginalised.
The network is a response to these concerns
and coincides with go-ahead for the UK's RCGP Rural Forum.
The Welsh network will concentrate on the
impact of care on individual patients and their communities linking
rural GPs and their practices across Wales.
This will allowing them to share problems,
solutions, good practice and eliminate isolation and create a
community based on knowledge, understanding and trust.
The network is still in the process of being
set up and we will publish details of its growth and development,
including how to become involved, as they arise.
