It is no exaggeration to say that my elective placement was the highlight of my undergraduate career and of my life

If I said my time in Sri Lanka was interesting that would be an understatement...

Placement was such a great experience. I learnt skills during my time on all three wards that university could never teach me. The one thing I regret not doing was the Ayurvedic week, all my friends came back from going and said it was the best thing they did. If I had my trip again I would have gone there 100%.

During the four weeks I tried surfing, white water rafting, safari in a national park

Culture was also evident in the day to day running of the general hospital, as although there are similarities between UK nursing and Sri Lankan nursing there were also differences. For example, instead of just doing IV’s for your patients, you had one nurse doing all of the IV’s.
