Reflections on healthcare experiences during an elective to Rukungiri, Uganda

Experiencing nursing, midwifery care and nurse education in Uganda gave me a whole new world perspective on nursing. I observed many nurses, dealing with limited resources, who were dedicated to their patients, who recognised the importance of the role of the family in recovery and who were very skilled at clinical assessment. It made me realise how much, in both nurse education and the NHS, I take those resources for granted.
