How do people who live on boats get the health care they need?

Working with you, professionals in Local Primary Care Networks (GPs), local hospital staff, the emergency services, and the Canal & River Trust we want to understand if there is a need to improve access to Health Care Services for the Boating Community.

Our aim is to help you, living on a boat, get the information and support you need.
