Rural Fellows ECHO

Following on from our previously successful annual programmes, Rural Fellows ECHO sessions will be returning for the new year in 2026.

Rural Fellows isn't currently accepting any further registrations as this is targeted to a specific cohort GPs undertaking a rural fellowship. However, do get in touch if you feel this would be of particular relevance to you.

Facilitator

Dr Connor Gamble

 

Aim

To provide knowledge transfer in palliative and end of life care for GP's working in rural areas. This learning comes through the lens of rural practice and covers the unique challenges that GPs may face when providing care and treatment in a remote context.

Who is it for?

We have run Rural Fellows ECHO every year since 2023. The audience has been fully trained GP's who, instead of going straight into practice, take on an extra year of service commitment but also with a strong emphasis and support for gaining additional skills important for working in remote parts of Scotland. The initial inception was part of a year long funded project but is now established and will continue.  

They are scatted throughout rural areas of Highland and Scotland. 

Programme details will be added once the dates, subjects, and speakers are confirmed.
