Abstract

Low- and middle-income countries have inadequate access to high-quality medical and surgical care; as a result, over 8 million lives are lost every year in these countries. Lack of high-quality surgical care not only leads to poor health outcomes, but also has significant economic implications. Therefore, increasing surgical capacity in low- and middle-income countries is one of the most important global surgical issues. The NHS can play a significant role in alleviating these issues. Among surgeons, there is a growing interest in volunteering for global surgery initiatives, and engagement in these programmes can have important benefits for both the NHS itself and its staff. A significant consideration for volunteers is whether they can obtain time off their usual role to participate in global surgery initiatives, while balancing NHS service provision needs. This article discusses practical options for facilitating surgeon engagement in international development.
创新工作规划,促进英国外科医生参与国际发展
低收入和中等收入国家获得高质量医疗和外科护理的机会不足;因此,这些国家每年有800多万人丧生。缺乏高质量的外科护理不仅会导致不良的健康结果,而且还会产生重大的经济影响。因此,提高低收入和中等收入国家的手术能力是全球最重要的外科问题之一。国民保健制度可以在缓解这些问题方面发挥重要作用。在外科医生中,越来越多的人对志愿参加全球外科活动感兴趣,参与这些项目对NHS本身及其员工都有重要的好处。对于志愿者来说,一个重要的考虑因素是他们是否可以在平衡NHS服务提供需求的同时,从他们通常的角色中获得时间来参与全球手术倡议。本文讨论了促进外科医生参与国际发展的实际选择。
