International Webinars
Background: What and Why
In November 2023 the Centre team designed, organised, and hosted a 2.5 day symposium for around 100 attendees comprising colleagues from Scotland and Norway. Over 20 presentations on a variety of health and care related topics were given, providing attendees the opportunity to highlight the work being done in these different areas.
The evaluation results highlighted that colleagues were interested to know more about some of the rural educational initiatives being delivered.
The Centre is also building international engagement for knowledge exchange, resource development and innovation that will support improved primary care services in remote and rural communities within Scotland and across the globe.
Description: Who and How
The Centre will host three webinars open to national and international attendance, covering a range of education programmes that are of interest to remote and rural communities throughout the world. The webinar topics are currently in planning and details will be available soon.
