Uganda Partnership—SCALE Project Volunteers

Strengthening Health Workforce Capacity through Global Learning in Critical Care (SCALE)

The SCALE Project is a collaborative health workforce capacity development initiative between the Ministry of Health, Uganda and the NHS in the UK.
 

SCALE Critical Care Uganda is a collaborative project supporting the development of critical care in Uganda. It is supported by the Ministry of Health, Uganda, Makerere University College of Health Sciences, the Association of Anaesthesiologists, Uganda, the Uganda UK Health Alliance, the Royal College of Anaesthetists, Health Education England, University of Cambridge and Cambridge Global Health Partnerships.

SCALE – Critical Care has been established to enhance skills and knowledge of Ugandan and UK critical care health providers through peer-to-peer learning and exchange.

Specific Objectives

1. To develop distant learning in critical care between training institutions in Uganda and the UK.
2. To enable Ugandan health workers to benefit from the Medical Training Initiative (MTI) scheme and other training & scholarship pathways in the UK for critical care
3. To offer global placement opportunities for UK professionals to support critical care training, practice and research in Uganda.
