IPHC



My next adventure starts here at The King's Lodge YWAM base near Nuneaton (15 mins from home).

I have enrolled part-time (still working part-time in Birmingham) on the Introduction to Primary Healthcare Course. This is a 12 week lecture phase course with an outreach phase over the summer - probably in Uganda. The course teaches us to teach, train and empower healthcare workers in the developing world in the most basic assessments and treatments of common conditions. Also to encourage everyone in basic hygiene and sanitation. These simple things can save lives. We then put this all to practice in underdeveloped, mainly rural areas of our outreach country. We will be running our clinics in the sun under the trees!
