Trainee feedback
"I gained much more from this Fellowship than I could have imagined. The experiences I had in developing the anaesthesia training and working on education components of the programme has really increased my passion for education and developing training as well as my enthusiasm and understanding of global health and development. I had the opportunity to manage cases both in theatre and on the Intensive Care Unit that I would never have seen in the UK. Additionally, the experiences I had in caring for patients in a low-resource environment, leading theatre lists daily, helping to organise theatres and resolve problems, and supervising trainees has been excellent training for what is needed to be a Consultant in the UK. Outside of work the travel opportunities were endless. Zambia is a beautiful country with almost year-long great weather! The safari experiences among other things are excellent and I managed quite a few trips."
