Stuart Burgess, our chair and the Government's Rural Advocate, is visiting Cornwall to highlight our evidence. Cornwall was the location for a consultation which helped shape our findings.


"In our submission we have emphasised the need for flexibility in the design and provision of rural healthcare, rather than the replication of services that work in an urban setting."

“Our guiding principle is that no one should be disadvantaged by where they live in accessing healthcare services"


Our dossier includes recommendations for changes that would have a significant impact and ensure the provision of high-quality healthcare in rural areas.

We built up a substantial body of evidence from a range of sources to illustrate and highlight the current situation regarding the planning, provision and delivery of healthcare services in rural areas.


To help compile our dossier we've spoken to NHS practitioners at all levels, consulted with key stakeholders and drawn widely on current research findings. We've also talked at length with NHS users through a series of public consultation events across rural England.
