We were delighted recently to be invited to deliver a webinar as part of an ongoing series being delivered by the team of the NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Programme. The programme aims to inform NHS staff working in Scotland about global citizenship activities and to encourage interested colleagues to become involved. It was established in 2018 following publication of a report from the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow entitled ‘Global Citizenship in the Scottish Health Service’, authored by Stuart Fergusson and Mike McKirdy, which provided eight recommendations for a more structured approach to global citizenship activities across NHS Scotland.
Other recent webinars have focused on the themes of ‘Environmental Sustainability’ and ‘Power and Partnerships’. My colleague Dr Peter Chimimba and I were asked to deliver a webinar about The MalDent Project from the perspective of ‘Alignment’ of the programme of work to the needs of Malawi. The recording of the webinar is now available on line.
We would like to thank the NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Programme team for providing us with this opportunity to share our experiences.
