In July had the privilege of visiting Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana. The regulatory body for nurses and midwives. A VSO, funded trip to learn about what Ghana are doing well in terms of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), which I am the CPD Advisor at Nurses and Midwives Council Malawi.
Ghana has a very robust CPD and a structured program. It has de-centralised its operation from the capital to regions having in total eleven regional offices. We visited one such regional office in the Volta Region, crossing the Volta River to get there. See photos of Ghana.
It was refreshing to be in Ghana and not have the huge NGO presence as in Ghana. Ghana is indeed to do business which is great!
We also visited a skill lab in Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, part of the Private Public Partnership Initiatives (PPPI). Medical and Surgical Skills Institute ( MSSI), funded by Johnson & Johnson.
Surgeons come from around the world to give their time, skills to supporting Ghana surgeons, doctors, medics,nurses & midwives with CPD.
