Abstract

In the UK large and increasing numbers of older people live within rural and remote communities. Services are predominantly located in urban settings. This seminar will focus on the findings of recent research funded by NIHR and Marie Curie to explore the issues faced by older people and family carers within rural and remote areas across the UK as they approach the end of life.
