Our partnerships Overseas
Hampshire Hospitals has forged partnerships with two hospitals in Africa. The Winchester-Yei Health Link organises trips for staff in our hospitals to Yei, in South Sudan, which has the highest maternity death rate in the world, while the Basingstoke Hoima Partnership in Health sees our staff work at a hospital in Hoima, Uganda.
The leadership skills and resourcefulness that volunteers learn, as well as the recogniti on of the conditi ons in which clinicians in Africa have to deliver basic care, are very valuable learning points.
On returning to the UK, volunteers report feeling a greater appreciati on of their own healthcare, bett er recognise their own potenti al and look to reduce the waste that they generate.
Military
We were one of the fi rst Trusts to sign up to the Step into Health programme, a joint initi ati ve set up by the NHS, Walking with the Wounded and the Royal Foundati on. It aims to help servicemen and women to fi nd jobs outside of the armed forces, providing work placements, support and advice.
We have provided work placements in a wide range of roles to former service personnel, with many of them going on to secure jobs either with us or elsewhere in the NHS.
We also support our staff if they decide to become reservists. Staff Nurse Rosie Dicks spends 27 days a year as an Army Reservist with 256 City of London Field Hospital, supported by the Trust.
“The atti tude of the Trust towards reservists is really supporti ve and the Clinical Matron I work for does all that she can to accommodate my training.”
