🌍 Nyahururu - Nanyuki and Cornwall ❤️
This week marks another important step in the growing partnership between the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Emergency Department and Nyahururu County Hospital, working together to strengthen emergency care through collaboration, mentorship, and exchange.
🧑🏼🤝🧑🏾👩🏼🤝👩🏾This week a group of professionals from Nyahururu - Juliet, Simon and Grace - joined by a team from the Royal Cornwall ED - Caitlin, Faheeem, Lucy, Joy and Anna- travelled to Nanyuki, to meet the Nanyuki SIM team led by Rose and the Dharura fellows Maddie, Livi and Jack currently on their 10 weeks deployment.
One of the most powerful moments was a session on breaking bad news and caring for ourselves as well as our patients, led by Sheila, psychologist from Nanyuki — a reminder that compassion, communication, and wellbeing sit at the heart of emergency care everywhere.
This has been a true two-way exchange.
"We’ve learnt so much from each other and will be taking back lessons on gratefulness, psychological safety, and the use of a SIM contract into our simulation debriefs in the UK."
Our Royal Cornwall team are " incredibly proud of the Nyahururu team, who have made huge progress this week through the mentorship and support of the Nanyuki team."
Global health partnerships like this show what’s possible when teams come together with openness, respect, and a shared purpose. 💙
