Patients deserve the best care regardless of their location. Here at the National Centre for Remote and Rural Medicine (NCRRM), we are providing education and training to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills to provide gold standard care in remote and rural locations locally, nationally and internationally. Digital technology is playing an increasingly important role in providing effective and safe health care in remote and rural regions and our Digital Health Institute is exploring the way technology can answer the issues of remote teaching and care.
At NCRRM we are looking for new ways to deliver medical education alongside traditional pathways. We are innovating so that we can widen access to medicine for those who wish to take an alternative route to attain professional qualifications.
Located in West Cumbria, the Centre provides students with a unique set of opportunities, allowing the variety of clinical experiences which comes with the challenges of remote and rural medicine.
We operate on the firm belief that medics and allied healthcare professionals should be able to attain skills and qualifications to ensure they feel confident and secure when looking after their patients’ needs, wherever they are in the world. Every contact with a patient should always enhance the outcome.
A range of full and part-time courses for doctors and other health professionals which provide a toolkit to enhance patient outcomes no matter where they are treated. The programmes have been developed to address the skills and competencies required for safe and confident practice in a rural or urgent, remote setting.
