No full textWith demographic change, many rural regions in Germany face the challenge to ensure an
appropriate provision of basic services, also for the increasing share of immobile population
groups. Among others, the growing number of old and very old people will increase the demand
for medical care. Although, on the whole health care in Germany is very good, in some
rural areas its provision tends to be difficult. This paper presents findings of an empirical
study on older people’s mobility options, obstacles that constrain the access to health care and
related needs. In-depth interviews were conducted with elderly men and women living in
Holzminden, a district in Lower Saxony already massively affected by demographic ageing
and shrinking. The analysis reveals high car dependency among the elderly; those who cannot
drive are highly dependent to be given a ride to all kinds of activities, including medical appointments.
Satisfaction with family doctors is high but many will soon retire and might not
find a successor. Access to medical specialists and emergency care turns out to be more complicated.
Despite low accessibility, most appreciate the advantages of rural living and nearly
none considers leaving the countryside. Yet, those who do not have family living close-by
they can call on might be forced to leave rural home once not able to drive anymore

Biomedical dominance and the underrepresentation of primary care: An analyses of self-claimed research priorities of German medical schools
No full textPrimary care providers deliver the majority of medical care serving as essential first points of contact and care coordinators. Despite the significant challenges they face, primary care research seems to lag behind and stay low-funded. Since the mid-1990s, academic reforms have emphasised metrics like third-party funding and high-impact publications. Medical schools were encouraged to develop distinct research profiles and to compete both internally and externally, leading to shifts in how research areas were prioritised, potentially disadvantaging primary care research
