The Western Trust’s Vision 2020 team members are busy making plans for their return visit to the ECWA Eye Hospital. The newest team member, Graham McFarlane, will be travelling with Rosie, Kathleen, Yvonne, Richard and David to Kano from the 17th to the 24th of April. Our previous visit in September and the subsequent visit of our Nigerian friends to the Western Trust in November were very useful fact-finding missions designed to help both teams create a training and development program for the dedicated Kano staff. This time we will be spending the whole week working alongside Dr Abuh and his team in clinics and theatres, with the aim of putting this program into action. The work of each team member will contribute towards improving each patient’s treatment journey – from arrival at the ECWA hospital to assessment and management of their condition.
