Blogs & conversations Simple technology, strong people: what I learnt about rural healthcare in Australia and Alaska

Rebecca Payne reflects on how her Churchill Fellowship challenged her expectations about the role of technology in rural healthcare. Drawing on visits to Australia and Alaska, she shares how simple, reliable technology, local healthcare workers, and well-connected services can improve access to care in remote communities. Rebecca explores how this learning could help shape rural healthcare in the UK, where technology must support – rather than replace – the people delivering care.

Blogs & conversations Protecting the power to question

Through her Fellowship, Daria explored how civic space can remain resilient when people’s ability to question, organise, and participate comes under pressure. Focusing on Central Asia, she examined how critical thinking, art, and positive narratives can help people practise “oppositional muscle” and imagine more open democratic futures. Published to mark International Day of Democracy, the blog reflects on why protecting civic voice matters in the UK and around the world.
