CENTRE FOR RURAL HEALTH

The Centre for Rural Health (CRH) is the only research centre of its kind in the UK.  It was founded in 2000 by the University of Aberdeen and in 2005 formed a joint venture with the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI). 

Centre for Rural Health's mission:
'to advance knowledge of health and health services in rural and remote communities.'

These communities currently face a number of important challenges including: changes in demography; changes in the nature of health care provision; and increased expectations of the community. 

• CRH is developing the evidence base for rural health care by:
• carrying out relevant primary research;
• developing collaborative research with social scientists, geographers and policy researchers;
• bringing the international perspective through appropriate collaborations.

CRH provides expertise in:

• evaluation of health care delivery;
• rural health care policy and management; epidemiology; clinical trials;
• public health; systematic reviews; data linkage studies; qualitative research; research costing and administration.
