Welcome to this page of our Turas Information Hub dedicated to the National Centre Newsletter.  

The National Centre Newsletter is designed to help colleagues across NHS Scotland, Health and Care settings and wider stakeholders access relevant learning materials, research, and sessions developed and delivered by the NC R&R HC team, as well as share information on some of our current programmes which we are working in partnership with primary and community healthcare staff and communities from remote, rural and island areas across Scotland. 

Our aim is to make remote, rural, and island health and care knowledge easier to navigate and apply in practice.


If you need any further information or support, please contact us at nes.ruralteam@nhs.scot.
