Nursing Electives in Ghana - Takoradi Reviews

Going to Ghana has opened my eyes and changed my views on a lot of things in life

I feel so blessed to have been able to experience a new culture and different healthcare system

Make sure you savor every minute while you are there because you will miss it so much when your back, I know I do!!

The people I have met and memories I have created are just simply astounding

I spent a week in the Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) clinic. This was very interesting and I got to take part in weighing the babies, taking mothers blood pressures and also giving vaccinations.

My elective placement in Ghana was the best experience of my life. It has opened my eyes to an entirely different way of life and I have so many memories and made so many friends that I will never forget.

Looking back I had an amazing time, I met some great people and I had experiences that can't measure up to a placement in the UK.

Being a student children’s nurse it was vital that I could spend all my clinical time in children’s departments and Work the World ensured that this was possible.

My School of Nursing recommended travelling with WTW as previous students had done so and had good experiences with the company.

A useful tip for nursing students is to make friends with the Ghanaian student nurses as they run the ward and are fantastic at letting you get involved in patient care!
