We are planning a future research column for Health Libraries Review
on the theme of health and community care information provision in
remote/ rural areas. In the first instance we are more interested in
looking at information for patients/ the public than health
professionals.
If you know of any ongoing or recently completed research or service
development projects on this theme, I'd be grateful for a name or
contact number/e-mail address.
The kinds of themes we want to cover are -
- are there particular access to health info issues for people in
remote/rural areas?
- what initiatives have been tried out in order to provide better
info/access to info
- have service developments/ projects tended to die or thrive?
- are there particular issues of promoting/disseminating
health info to rural areas?
- whose responsibility is it to provide such information?
Ideally we would like to locate some interesting projects in this
area.
Grateful for any contacts you can provide
