NURSE'S ROLE IN A FOREIGN LAND
Abstract:
For many years a team of specialist Gynaecologists and Anaesthetists from The Women's Hospital in Melbourne have travelled to the beautiful, nomadic land of Mongolia. They have helped train Mongolian doctors in advanced practices related to laparoscopic-gynaecological surgery and anaesthesia, facilitating a number of ground-breaking 'firsts' in hospitals across several regions of the country. The role of nurses in this expedition was never established, and in 2015 a team of perioperative clinical nurse specialists joined the medical team to Mongolia for the first time.
