  • S4E2 - MP Tim Farron on Bridging the Healthcare Gap in Rural Communities
    Oct 24 2024

    In this episode of AXREM Insights, hosts Melanie Johnson and Sally Edgington interview Liberal Democrat MP Tim Farron, discussing his work advocating for improved healthcare access in rural areas, particularly in his Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency. Tim emphasises the challenges his constituents face with access to cancer treatment, such as long travel times for radiotherapy, which negatively impacts patient outcomes. He advocates for the creation of satellite radiotherapy units in rural hospitals, like the Westmorland General, to reduce travel times and improve healthcare access. Tim also highlights the broader need for the UK to invest more in radiotherapy technology and infrastructure, as the country lags behind its European counterparts in equipment and treatment accessibility.

    Additionally, the conversation explores the importance of industry collaboration with political leaders to improve healthcare services. Tim encourages AXREM members to build relationships with MPs to advocate for technological advancements and better policies. The episode concludes with Tim sharing his passion for music, notably his admiration for the band Prefab Sprout, and reflecting on how personal connections can drive meaningful changes in both healthcare and community life.
