2. History master class
What can we take from the past?
Consensus – on the problems, but what
about the solutions?
How do we get the best qualified
practitioners to work in R&R areas?
The importance of nurses, midwives,
paramedics
Community advocacy role of practitioners?
3. Social, Capital and community
enterprise
Q1. Why can’t every community have a
social enterprise company?
Q2. Where it exists, how can the NHS plug
into that capital?
4. Health professional education
1. Communication – we need to do it better!
Investment in internet linkage needed – not
just for education, but for practice too. E-
learning would then be possible.
2. Phone signals too: invest nationally to get
a good roaming service across all networks –
for safe delivery of care
5. Emergency services in remote
communities
Emergency service integration?
Team work! Not reliant on one person
Partnership working and integration e.g.
buildings/estates
Assess skills and risks in every community –
then train for multi-skilling (appetite for this)
Communications – VHS accessibility
Role of CPPs: cooperation, empowerment
6. Emergency services in remote
communities
Emergency responders over first
responders?
Role of Community Councils?
Flexible models of care
‘We need to be brave’ in risk assessment
WE NEED TO TRUST PEOPLE
7. Scottish Government
R&R skills and expertise need to inform
national thinking
National vision for health and social care
makes sense in R&R places
How do we organise our collective assets
(people, public services, places)?
How build capacity in communities?
8. First Responder Schemes
People in communities – skills and
resources: how to keep them skilled
The role of technology in training and
executing their training
Evidence is key – to create measurable
improvements – large scale studies and
evidence collection
