A group of UK nurses have come forward to say that working in Cambodia is going to be a life-changing experience and that they have also been shaping the practice back home. The Transform Healthcare Cambodia take a group of nurses out a few times a year and they focus on going to South East Asian countries. They do this so that they can work with some of the local staff over there and so that they can also offer their own advice. They believe that it is quite life-changing that some of the nurses actually come out and that it has a huge impact on them as professionals. Those who work in a nursing recruitment agency or even a nurse agency will know more than anyone how beneficial trips like this are, and it is amazing to see how much work they are putting in. The charity also provide various opportunities for professionals from Cambodia to come to England too. They offer various study tours and they also give foreign workers the chance to see the NHS in action.
This is a very uplifting experience and it also helps them to focus more on developing their own careers. Sue Smith is a chief nurse and she works at the Morecambe Bay University. She is one of the charity founders and directors. She has admitted that it was a bit of a shock in terms of culture, for the UK workers going over there. This was especially the case when they visited the country, as the attack on the Khmer Rouge bridge saw the healthcare system completely destroyed. A lot of people work very hard to try and give people the support they need, and it is certainly enriching for people to be able to really see how things are changing for the better.
