The Rural Health Committee is a student committee within the School of Nursing and Midwifery. 

Members of the Rural Health Committee share a passion for the health and wellbeing of those living in rural areas. We hope that through partnership working and promoting the needs of our rural communities this will have a positive impact. Our nursing students are the next generation of the nursing workforce it is imperative they have an awareness about the health needs in rural communities.

• Encourage inclusivity for rural communities in the current health service.
