We welcomed inspiring speakers from across the region, including Dr Ashok Daya Ram, Consultant Paediatric Surgeon from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals Trust. Physiotherapists Caroline Kelly, Sam Coleman, and Critical Care Nurse, Robyn Winters, also shared their experiences of long term volunteering in Yangon. Speakers touched on the importance of global health engagement for staff development within the NHS, and the value in delivering virtual training for partners overseas.

The first online Café was a resounding success, welcoming inspiring speakers and great attendance. Prof Topun Austin, Dr Thet Win-Aung, and Dr Ros Parkes-Ratanshi discussed Covid-19’s harsh truths and silver linings, coping with loneliness in lock down and adapting to UK life, and Uganda’s response to the pandemic. The three stories mixed elements of the personal, professional, global and local.
