Story

Hello Folks

In June I will be embarking on a journey to work with the NMC in Malawi to co-ordinate the work they are doing to support and sustain their nurses/midwives who endeavour to deliver the highest quality of care in very difficult circumstances and by that I mean severe shortages of staff, resources and the demographic catastrophe caused by AIDS.

For more detail see:

and then have a look at:

I will be involved in rolling out the NMC Malawi CPD framework which provides staff with development opportunities and  career pathways. but as importantly it is also an incentive for Malawian nurses/midwives to continue practising in their homeland.

This work is being enabled by VSO.

Your donation ensures VSO can continue supporting projects such as these which make a difference to improving the quality of peoples' lives.
