In June, as part of our THET grant, two of our UK members as well as a small group of colleagues from Korle Bu Hospital travelled to both Tamale and Ho Teaching Hospitals in Ghana. The aim of this trip was to hold key stakeholder events and to deliver initial face to face teaching on positioning and swallowing. The team had a great welcome with lots of enthusiasm to build on core stroke skills.
There was great feedback from the team:
“Heartfelt thanks to the UK and Korle Bu teams for the comprehensive stroke training. Your dedication to improving stroke management is deeply appreciated. Gratitude also to our Head of Department, Dr X, for championing the stroke unit initiative. Our nurses are committed to supporting all teams for excellent stroke care. With our Head of Department’s leadership, sustainability will not be an issue”
“I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to the Korle-Bu team and the UK team. We are grateful for the brilliant support. We are highly energised to kick start stroke services. [Named head of department], we are grateful for your exceptional leadership”.
“The knowledge acquired during these few days was great, it is going to greatly improve stroke care going forwards”
“A very educative and enlightening training programme”
“I believe the programme was very beneficial. I learnt new things and reinforced knowledge”
