So we are back home again in the dark, cold UK. I wore the traditional dress I was given by CH Rennie Hospital today to cheer me up and help me wade through the mound of paperwork that awaited me at work.
We had a very successful trip all in all. We trained 26 midwives and neonatal nurses, further honed the course material and made friends with some wonderful people. Working alongside MCAI (www.mcai.org.uk) worked well. They are doing sterling work with extended skills training for midwives as well as supporting the neonatal nurse practitioner programme. Their medical director, Professor David Southall OBE, recently spoke about MCAI’s Liberian task sharing programmes, see https://torquaymedsoc.com/liberia.
