The Rural Needs Toolkit for Health and Social Care – How to Address the Needs of the Rural Population was recently launched. This Toolkit seeks to help those in the health and social care sectors to address the needs of their rural populations when they develop strategies, initiatives and service delivery plans.

This Toolkit was adapted for use in Northern Ireland in partnership with health and social care trusts in Northern Ireland. It was authored by the National Centre for Health and Social Care, assisted by local partners Rural Community Network NI.
