Reciprocal health partnership visits between Cambridge and Malawi in 2025 ↔️

In November, multidisciplinary teams from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the East of England NHS visited our partners at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, and Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi.

The first visit focused on delivering bone infection training and physiotherapy resources - including co-development of a new virtual physiotherapy tool for remote communities, offering a scalable model for patient education.

A second visit focused on ear and hearing care including delivering training at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences in Blantyre and at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe. Participants included NGOs, charities, ENT specialists, nurses and audiologists. The training was facilitated by an NHS team from Cambridge and the East of England including ENT surgeons, an audiologist and a community paediatrician. The team also met with the Ministry of Health in Lilongwe to discuss development of the partnership activities.

On both visits, the teams explored opportunities for joint research, fellowships, and shared educational materials between Cambridge and Malawi.

Back in September we were delighted to welcome some our partners from Malawi to Cambridge, emphasising the reciprocal nature of CGHP facilitated health partnerships.

A team of CGHP members – including nurses from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and CGHP Chair Fiona Smith-Laittan – recently returned from a visit to Uganda where they worked with local partners to develop critical care capacity. 🏥

The visit was part of the SCALE* Critical Care Project – a collaborative project working to develop critical care services in Uganda and the UK through peer-to-peer learning and exchange.

The project began in Uganda in Kampala at both Kawempe National Referral Hospital and Mulago National Referral Hospitals. The project has now expanded to include Mbarara District Regional Referral Hospital. The focus of this visit was to deliver new training and exchange knowledge with teams at Mbarara District Regional Referral Hospital. Thanks to all CGHP members and Ugandan partners involved in this project.

We’re hosting a webinar for those interested in finding out more about our Ethical Elective scheme. 🖥️

All healthcare profession students training in the East of England are eligible to undertake an ethical elective in a CGHP partnership.

It’s a great opportunity to gain clinical experience with funding up to £1000 available to help with the costs. By working in a healthcare institution in the Global South you’ll get a unique experience that isn’t available in the UK, helping you gain broader self-directed clinical and/or research experience, and contribute to sustainable impact within a health partnership.

Join CGHP for this webinar providing more information on what ethical electives involve and how you can apply.

With thanks to the Thriplow Charitable Trust for their generous support of this year's Ethical Elective Scheme.

Our latest event brought to life how our work is developing people and delivering global health impact. 🌎

A huge thank you to our speakers – NHS staff and students who are recent recipients of CGHP grants and ethical elective funding – who shared how their experiences have advanced their careers and supported the development of others. Their stories highlight how the health partnerships approach is helping to deliver sustainable, long-term change in global health.

The findings were overwhelmingly positive, with 100% of 2024-25 participants reporting they developed new techniques or approaches relevant to their clinical practice.
