Friends of African Nursing!
We are a small charity based in United Kingdom.
Charity Registration: 1113054
Thank you for your interest and support for our activities!
Our primary interest is in supporting nurses and nursing in Africa. However, we specialise in supporting nurses who particularly work in Operating Theatres and work with the surgical teams.
Patients are very vulnerable especially when they, by reason of poverty, poor nutrition, and co-existing disease, have to undergo surgery. In poorly resources health systems it may not always be possible to provide the most up to date interventions due to lack of equipment, drugs or knowledge.
We believe that knowledge is powerful, and that by providing knowledge and skills to the African nurses who are integral to the patient's care, that it will be possible in time to raise awareness of improvements which increase teamwork, self protection from hazards, professional standards and ultimately increase quality patient care.
We deliver education to Operating Theatre Nurses, working with Ministries of Health, Chief Nursing Officers and nursing organisations to gather nurses together to share their own knowledge amongst themselves and to add to it by delivering education sessions. We ground our education sharing in reality. We assist in leadership development and capacity building in perioperative care.
We welcome you to the site, and invite you to find out more about us in the areas where we have worked, how we raise funds to support the management of the work programmes and keep in touch with our supporters.
Please take a look at our Cards and Items for Sale and the Membership Scheme.
Thank you!
