FRRHH News

In a leading move, the Faculty of Remote, Rural & Humanitarian Healthcare (FRRHH) has marked a significant milestone with the initiation of its second membership phase, having invited applications for the first of its kind prestigious awards recognising excellence in the field of remote, rural, and humanitarian healthcare.

2023 marked a significant year for the Faculty from launching our Membership and Fellowship awards to celebrating our five-year anniversary! Not to mention a trek around the globe, supporting some key events all with the shared goal of advancing remote, rural and humanitarian healthcare globally.

The Tuanku Muhriz Travelling Fellowship provides Fellows or Members of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, a rewarding opportunity to gain further experience and training in rural surgery in Malaysia. The 2023 Fellowship was awarded to Consultant Orthopaedic Trauma and Hand Surgeon, Adeline Clement.

The Faculty of Remote, Rural and Humanitarian Healthcare (FRRHH) has come a long way since its inception in 2018. Formerly known as the Faculty of Remote and Rural Care (FRRH) prior to the inclusion of humanitarian in 2020, the Faculty was established to fulfil a need to improve the accessibility and quality of healthcare for those living and working in remote, rural, austere and life-threatening areas of the world.

As part of our five-year anniversary campaign, we took the opportunity to speak with some of our Executive Committee Members about the origins of the Faculty, how it has evolved over the years and how they see FRRHH developing in the future.
