ABSTRACT

Friends of African Nursing (FoAN) is a small UK based charity which has been teaching perioperative nurses in Africa since 2001. Run entirely by volunteers from amongst the UK perioperative community, it aims to leave a sustainable legacy of educational resource to African nurses working in difficult and sometimes impossible conditions without access to continuing education. This article describes the appalling clinical conditions in which the nurses have to work and the educational framework which has been developed by FoAN to support the nurses learning needs and how that is delivered.
