2011

In June 2011, a group of Iraqi surgeons joined us for a one-month clinical and academic training programme. The partners for delivering this project were the Ministry of Higher Education in Iraq (MoHE), the Intercollegiate Iraqi Liaison Group (ICILG), and Imperial College NHS Trust. Clinical attachments were at Imperial NHS Trust three days a week, and the other days focussed on academic training. Along with several lectures, this included an ATLS course at Hillingdon Hospital and visits to the Royal College of Surgeons and Cerner Hospital. Important contacts were made between the Iraqi Surgeons and potential collaborators in London.

2010

Dr Nashwa Bannani from Saudi Arabia visited the WHO CC in July 2010. During her clinical attachment, which focused on Adolescent Medicine, Dr Bannani visited local clinics and related institutes specialising in adolescent mental health. As part of this clinical attachment, Dr Bannani was supported in developing an Adolescent Health Strategy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
