Healthcare easier to access through Local farminq support charity

摘要

Local healthcare charities are increasingly becoming an important lifeline for rural communities, where access to more traditional methods of help and advice may be more difficult.One such charity supporting farmers and others in the rural community is Field Nurse, set up in 2016 by a group of people in Lancashire to help reduce the identified risks of physical and mental health of those living in rural areas.With several of the initial volunteers to Field Nurse working in the rural and sometimes isolated community themselves, the need to provide support for farmers in particular was easily recognised and understood.
