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.
