Scotland and Norway Symposium
NHS Education for Scotland Remote and Rural Team hosted a two-day visit and symposium in Aberdeen on the 29th and 30th November 2023. The symposium was hosted in partnership with Norwegian colleagues from the Centre for Rural Medicine and the Norwegian College of GPs and we were joined by around one hundred colleagues from Scotland and Norway.
Norway and Scotland have enjoyed a fruitful working relationship around remote and rural healthcare, education, research, and recruitment over many years. We are keen to strengthen and build on this relationship, sharing knowledge, innovations and resources that support improved health and care service provision for remote and rural communities in both countries.
The symposium provided an opportunity to explore some of the ongoing challenges in providing high quality rural healthcare, discuss programmes of work already underway, and identify solutions that may be taken forward to address more of these challenges now and into the future.
You can view some of the presentations from the symposium below.
