Nursing Placements in Ghana - Takoradi Reviews

"Everyone at the house is so friendly, and you feel immediately welcome. The chefs are the best, the food was incredible. They can cater for all dietary requirements".

"The confidence I have gained has completely changed me as a student and even as person. If you are thinking about doing something like this, my advice would be 100% JUST DO IT!"

"As the weeks went by, we saw some emergencies but no one seemed to be in much of a rush. The idea of urgency wasn’t the same as it is in the Netherlands."

"Adding the village healthcare week onto my placement really helped me have a better understanding of the whole Ghanaian healthcare system and actually just the Ghanian culture."

"The NICU team was so welcoming and friendly, in particular my supervisor. She made me feel at ease, showed me the ropes and was so keen to teach. She was amazing."

"The hospital teams speak excellent English, I was really surprised there were no language barriers whatsoever."

"My supervisors were incredible. They spoke excellent English and were really keen to get to know me, my abilities and to get me involved."

"A lot my UK placement hours have been called due to the pandemic. By going to Ghana I was able to make up a lot of my hours."

"We saw differences right away. There was a lot of malaria, which obviously isn’t something we see much of in the UK if at all."

"It gave me more incentive to learn how healthcare professionals overcome such challenges."
