Access to healthcare for the Farming Community

Healthwatch Warwickshire met with the Farming Community Network and local Primary Care Networks to explore health inequalities affecting rural farming communities. We attended the Rugby Livestock Market, which hosted a Farmer’s Healthcare Event, in November 2025. We asked farmers and their families about their experiences of General Practice and other healthcare services to find out if farming impacted on their experiences.

Community Health Services feedback from across Warwickshire

In a bid to improve the health of the nation, the government produced a 10 Year Health Plan to reform the health system. This includes providing care and support closer to where people live, hopefully reducing the need for hospitalisation.

The latest guidance envisages that "integrated neighbourhood teams will be responsible for the health of their local population, working with people, communities and partners to deliver joined-up, proactive and personalised care.“
