We have the privilege of organising our own elective placement at the start of our third year. We have chosen to go to Nepal to gain an insight into how midwifery care is practised and accessed.

A day in theatres...................

Hello England, another beautiful warm day in Nepal, the sun was sunning when we left for work!We observed the operating theatres today and tomorrow, today we saw four caesrean sections, very impressed with their equipment, very similiar to home. The staff were very friendly and we had lovely Nepal tea made for us in the staff room. At lunch we went to our local moo moo restuarant near the hospital and had a tradional nepal dish which consisted of rice, spinach, i had chicken for laura vegtables, curried pots and sauces with poppadoms, yummy, i chose to use fork but iam proud to say Laura got stuck in with her hands just like the Nepalise. This afternoon we went to visit Patan hospital not sure about the transport we used a tuk tuk a small type van that on the way home fitted 13 people will saw you pictures when home. The hospital is a semi-goverment run hospital, which was very lovely, big, clean and some of the lay outs of the wards are like england. We were kindly shown around by the supervisor who we had a really nice chat we over some more nepalise tea which i love now!very sweet and cinamon. On the way home me and Laura got distracted by a spa and might of booked a few pampering treats for the end of our trip and got lost, but hey we found out way but to the cyber cafe obviously and gained more exercise ready for a takeaway pizza if they understand english, wish us luck, good night england all our love from Nepal Laura and Sam xxx
