Centre for Rural Health Sciences

Part of the university’s Health, Social Care and Life Sciences subject area we bring together health related research and teaching at UHI.

Based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, we have a campus in Inverness and Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.  We provide accessible, evidence informed education for nurses, optometrists and other health and social care professionals, including undergraduate and postgraduate students.

We conduct high quality applied research that improves health and wellbeing within the Highlands and Islands and beyond.  

We have national and international research collaborations and expertise in developing novel interventions and evaluating existing health and social care services.
