West Cumbria is not alone in its challenges and provides a beautiful setting for training clinicians and others from all over the UK and beyond in all aspects of medicine relating to living, working and recreation in remote and rural environments. Remote and rural recreation and sport is an area where training can help in the prevention and management of injuries and ill health and the centre will also provide a variety of short courses and degree programs aimed to help those who enjoy rural pursuits stay safe and deal with medical emergencies.
Rural medicine has been under-served for a number of years and the centre aims to provide a focus for remote and rural medical education and research in collaboration with colleagues globally.
