Nursing

Staff at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of East Anglia are keen to work with the Partnership. They have already used their contacts to obtain books, sterilising units, surgical instruments and other medical equipment that will be sent to Dedza in the 2007 shipping container.

Local medical practices that have responded by donating redundant equipment include Adelaide Street, Bates Green, North Elmham, St Stephens Gate and West Earlham.

The School of Nursing and Midwifery is also exploring opportunities to develop some joint work with the nursing and midwifery services in Malawi. One of the projects is the possibility of nursing and midwifery students visiting Dedza on a two week elective to observe a different health care system.
