Not only did I see exacerbations of conditions that are less prevalent in the UK, such as malaria and HIV, but I also had an insight into how UK conditions such as CVA's and UTI's are treated in a developing country.

Work the World went out of their way to make it an amazing experience and I cannot fault them and would recommend them to everyone who is considering an elective placement.

A useful tip for nursing students is to make friends with the Ghanaian student nurses as they run the ward and are fantastic at letting you get involved in patient care!

I feel that this has changed the how I perceive my role and hopefully will make me a better nurse
