Why study this course with us?

The programme offered by the University of ChesterÊwill respond to doctors and health professional colleagues seeking to develop their understanding of, and find solutions to, the specific challenges of serving a rural population. The course engages with the substantial and unique experience of delivering healthcare in rural areas, and will relate to the specific identities of each studentÕs practice, facilitating a bespoke course of study.

Although this is an advanced course in rural health and medicine, it equally facilitates a bespoke approach to learning, allowing for practitioners to critically consider their own practice. This course will also be multi- and interdisciplinary, reflecting the primary care services provided by a range of healthcare professionals. Importantly, it will be respectful of the unique attributes of each profession, and the need for all students to be valued.

Critical to the delivery of the course is University Centre Shrewsbury, situated in one of the most rural counties in England. We have a determination to address the very significant rural health concerns evident in Shropshire and beyond.
