Health and Social Care Spotlight – May 2019

Lincolnshire Refugee Doctor Project are members of the RHCA and was established in 2016 with the aim of helping refugees who hold a medical qualification to become registered to practise medicine in the UK: this process, which for doctors fleeing conflict in their home countries is remarkably difficult, and may take several years to achieve.
This is especially important in rural areas where there are difficulties in recruiting medical professionals.

Warwickshire Older Peoples Forum are also RHCA members and represent the interests and promotes the wellbeing of older people in the county.  
They are focused on the main health and wellbeing concerns affecting older people, the NHS, adult social care, dementia, social isolation and loneliness, and access to services inc transport.

11th April - World Parkinsons Day
We are working in partnership with Parkinson’s UK in rural communities throughout England to address issues such as vulnerability, isolation and loneliness, transport and poor access to communications.

Following World Parkinson’s Day on the 11th April, we want to raise awareness of Parkinson’s new campaign, Parkinson’s Is, with our rural networks.
