After completing the 1,000 plus miles and visiting so many wonderful ENT Units
together we have raised over £6,500. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone for
their kind support, donations and making this dream possible.
The training that Sarah and Emmanuel will receive will make a huge
difference and improve ENT services in Malawi, this ground breaking
approach is down to the efforts of the ENT Team at Fife. Tricia Mackie, Lead
Nurse at Fife had this to say.
One Journey Ends As
Another Begins...
“The programme we hope to set up from the ENT team in Fife will be focused
on education. Our proposal will be similar to one (already very successfully in
practise) that has been set up by FK Norway, an organisation afliated to Oslo
University Hospital, and the neurosurgery unit in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital
in Blantyre.
We propose two programmes one for the long term and one in the short term,
in the long term we propose a 6 pronged project.
1. Exchange of the medical registrars
2. Exchange of the nurses and nursing auxiliaries
3. Facilitating the clinical ofcers to come to Fife to observe our
practise (to include the anaesthetic clerical ofcers).
4. Sponsorship for the training of nurses and clinical ofcers
5. Project manager
6. Audiology
In the short term we are looking to bring a Matron (and possibly a clinical
ofcer ) over for a month in order to showcase our facilities and establish
appropriate training for the nursing team and the clinical ofcers.
Our experience from the visit is the lack of understanding and organisation at
the most basic level, which we can facilitate and I really do think we can
create a true partnership that will continue for years to come and will be
benecial for both parties.
The hard work starts now creating a funded programme that will be the
foundation of the ENT Blantrye and ENT Fife teams.”
