The Network of IRH Associates has brought together the existing membership scheme of the IRH, the members of the Rural Health Forum Exchange and the other networks and partnerships that the IRH is involved with through its work.

It is FREE to become an IRH Associate who will:

Communication will be principally electronic to facilitate the exchange of information.

The more people who engage and contribute the more effective the Network will become. If you are interested in rural health and wellbeing become involved and get connected!

We are currently looking at how to further develop the Network and encourage more two way dialogue. If you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to get in touch with Helen Porter or Jane Randall-Smith

The IRH is making the change to encourage and widen membership and we hope that you will consider joining the new Network. The more people who engage and contribute the more effective the Network will become. If you are interested in rural health and wellbeing become involved and get connected!
