SAFE Malawi courses scheduled for August |
Paediatric and obstetric courses will be rolled out |
The first SAFE (Safer Anaesthesia From Education) Paediatric course will run in Blantyre, Malawi from 28th – 31st September. The course brings regional and UK faculty together to deliver 3 days of training to local physicians and anaesthetic officers on how to give the safest anaesthetic care.
There is also a ‘train the trainer’ component that makes SAFE sustainable, allowing participants to return to their hospitals and teach others the techniques they learned.
SAFE Malawi is funded by the Tropical Health Education Trust (THET) and more courses in paediatrics and obstetrics are scheduled to take place in Malawi in September and November.
