Access to Healthcare, Wellbeing and Community services when living in the more rural areas of West Sussex Survey

Our Rural Health survey in 2024 informed that residents and their families living in the more rural areas of West Sussex face specific barriers when trying to access healthcare, wellbeing and community services, primarily transport, location, and cost.

We would like to learn if there has been any change for rural residents’ experience of accessing healthcare, wellbeing and community services. Also, to learn how you prefer to receive information about health, wellbeing and community services.

Completing our survey
