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一起研究高地和群岛的农村保健和护理的历史。在NHS成立75周年之际，项目参与者将利用他们自己的记忆以及档案和研究材料，重新想象农村卫生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，并回答我们的问题：苏格兰农村和岛屿的卫生和保健未来应该是什么样子？随着NHS迎来下一个重要的生日，也就是80岁、90岁甚至100岁，我们的农村社区将从健康和护理服务中获得什么？NHS需要以什么方式与社会关怀和社区部门合作来满足农村社区的需求？项目研究人员将邀请设得兰和因弗内斯及其周边农村地区的居民参加一系列研讨会，讨论来自高地档案馆、博物馆和图书馆藏品(包括苏格兰档案馆电影《高地医生》)的材料、正在进行的城市重振医学博士研究(由林恩·安德森在NHS之前进行的关于设得兰卫生和保健的博士研究)以及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卫生保健的记忆，或与其他人进行同行研究访谈。项目合作伙伴Science Ceilidh将支持更广泛的参与，将社区、艺术和研究元素联系起来。这包括与社区研究人员共同制定两项庆祝ceilidh活动，将讲故事、传统艺术和讨论结合在一起；将更广泛的社区与政策制定者一起聚集在一起，打破障碍。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、图画和叙事。

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.
