Rural Health and Care: Past, Present and Future

在这个项目中，研究人员，音乐家和艺术家将与社区成员合作，考虑在高地和岛屿的农村卫生和保健的历史。在NHS成立75周年之际，项目参与者将利用自己的记忆以及档案和研究材料，重新想象农村卫生和保健的未来可能是什么样子。我们将一起踏上一段创造性的旅程，要求我们反思围绕农村卫生和保健的挑战，创新和机遇，并回答这个问题：苏格兰农村和岛屿的卫生和保健未来应该是什么样子？当NHS迎来下一个重要的生日，年满80岁、90岁甚至100岁时，我们的农村社区需要从医疗和保健服务中得到什么？NHS需要以何种方式与社会护理和社区部门合作，以满足农村社区的需求？项目研究人员将邀请来自设得兰群岛和因弗内斯及其周边农村地区的居民参加一系列研讨会，讨论高地档案馆，博物馆和图书馆收藏的材料（包括苏格兰档案馆电影高地医生），正在进行的UHI博士研究（由林恩安德森在NHS之前在设得兰群岛进行健康和护理）和项目团队成员收集的新口述历史。将支持参与者记录他们自己对农村保健和护理的记忆，或与其他人进行同行研究访谈。项目合作伙伴，科学Ceilidh，将支持更广泛的参与连接社区，艺术和研究元素。这包括与社区研究人员共同开发两个庆祝ceilidh的活动，结合联合收割机讲故事，传统艺术和讨论;汇集和打破更广泛的社区与政策制定者之间的障碍。将支持参与者制作在苏格兰农村卫生伙伴关系网站上留下遗产的材料，如播客、海报、图画和叙述。

In this project, researchers, musicians and artists will work with community members to consider the history of rural health and care in the Highlands and Islands. In the year of the 75th anniversary of the NHS, project participants will draw on their own memories, as well as archive and research materials, to re-imagine what the future of rural health and care might look like. Together, we will go on a creative journey that asks us to reflect on the challenges, innovations and opportunities surrounding rural health and care and give our answer to the question: what should health and care in rural and island Scotland look like in the future? What will our rural communities need from health and care services as the NHS has its next significant birthdays and turns 80, 90 and even 100 years old? In what ways does the NHS need to work together with social care and the community sector to deliver for the needs of rural communities?Project researchers will invite residents from Shetland and Inverness and its surrounding rural regions to take part in a series of workshops that discuss material from Highland archive, museum and library collections (including the Scottish Archive film Highland Doctor), ongoing UHI doctoral research (being carried out by Lyn Anderson on health and care in Shetland before the NHS) and new oral histories collected by project team members. Participants will be supported to record their own memories of rural health and care or to carry out peer research interviews with others. Project partners, Science Ceilidh, will support the wider engagement connecting the community, arts and research elements. This includes co-developing with the community researchers two celebration ceilidh events that combine storytelling, traditional arts and discussion; to bring together and break down the barriers between the wider community alongside policymakers. Participants will be supported to produce materials that leave a legacy on the Scottish Rural Health Partnership website, such as podcasts, posters, drawings and narratives.
