📢📢Humbled and deeply honored to receive the "Outstanding Male Writer Award" from the #Rwanda Literary Excellence Award @radiaterwanda for The Safari Concept book. This recognition belongs to every #patient and #family who allowed me to listen to their #stories and learn from their #Courage. 🙏
🩵 Sharing the stage with Hon. Antoine Mugesera, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, reminded me that writing is service: we preserve #memory, protect #dignity, and open pathways for #empathy.
📚The Safari Concept was born from bedside conversations, moments of uncertainty, #Hope , and #love. It argues for a partnership model in #Medicine: patients not as clients, but as co-authors of their care.
🥼 To the young and junior #physicians: your words matter. Document the hard #days and the healing ones. Write to #challenge systems, to #humanize statistics, and to make #care safer, fairer, and kinder.
With #Gratitude to Prof. Mbonyinkebe Deo (anthropological insights), Mr. Samuel Sangwa (rigorous literary guidance), Dr. Susan Block (medical mentorship), and my wife Reine Kamagaju♥️ (unconditional support).

Such an amazing programme! All the GPNs in my practice have been trained through this programme. We work well as a team, know how to challenge and how to care. #nhs10pointplan @PCWT_hub

3/ It is of the upmost importance that our employers (GPs) or (Care home providers) can support our #RNs in their quest for long term parity and equity afforded to other professional groups.

It has taken some work but we are close to publishing the results of our study asking whether the issues identified by Camilla Cavendish in 2013 still characterise how NHS support workers experience work and if so why and what the consequence is.

Did you know following review of the data in the last 12months our health care assistants have had the biggest growth in workforce numbers from Dec 22 to Dec 2023 across England? In addition there are numerous dedicated programs to support development.

The government is seeking views on a new pay scale for NHS nurses on AfC contracts. Keen to hear what GPNs make of this? What would a separate pay spine for NHS nurses mean for those in primary care? DMs are open or email me at meganford@cogora.com
