NURSING IN POKHARA

In Pokhara, families usually offer bedside care such as food and bedding, leaving Nurses to focus on actual treatments. You’ll have the unique opportunity to focus in on specialist areas of interest right down to Leprosy Rehabilitation and Neonatal Intensive Care. You’ll also be able to accompany local students on their ward rounds to exchange skills and information that you’d otherwise never acquire. Click the ‘ENQUIRE NOW’ button to find out more.

With busy wards and a higher number of birthing complications than you're probably used to, there'll be plenty to learn on this placement. For most midwives, delivery is only part of the job and our great relationships with the maternity department in both a large government hospital and a smaller private clinic, give you a chance to get involved in everything from ward rounds to Neonatal Intensive Care. Click the ‘ENQUIRE NOW’ button to find out more.

PHYSIOTHERAPY IN POKHARA

In Pokhara, we’re partnered with a highly specialised rehabilitation hospital in which you’ll undertake your physiotherapy placement.

Local staff take “We take you back to an active life” — the hospital’s motto — seriously.

The hosptial’s basic goal is improving their patients’ quality of life, educating them along the  way.

You’ll spend time alongside specialists, learning how a resource limitations affect the quality of care they’re able to provide.

In terms of cases, you’ll see things like strokes, degenerative disorders, soft tissue injuries, neuromuscular disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, spinal cord injuries, post-amputation rehabilitation, pain management, and delayed developmental milestones among others.

PARAMEDIC SCIENCE in Pokhara

In Pokhara, hailing a taxi is often a quicker way to get to hospital than calling an ambulance. As a result, you’ll spend most of your time seeing emergency cases as they come in to A&E. Ambulances do, however, come into their own when there are mass casualties resulting from major incidents. One of our partner hospitals even has one of the few specialist ICU ambulances that exist in Nepal. When it comes to the cases themselves, you’ll see everything from paediatric typhoid to domestic abuse injuries.  Click the ‘ENQUIRE NOW’ button to find out more.

These services are offered at a reasonable rate in comparison to other private hospitals in Pokhara. The number of patients varies, but typically there are around 20 to 30 patients for USG and CT scan, up to 100 patients for X-ray and two to three patients for the MRI scan per day. This is a busy department and the experience you’ll get as a Radiography Student is second to none. Click the ‘ENQUIRE NOW’ button to find out more.
