Great to see so much progress with those two applications! - good luck! Sorry I haven't been around much to help, although I have probably found all the potential sources of funding I can for now - any more I do find I will add to my google docs list and post on here.

I got a delivery failure message, but I know that you usually get the emails OK. Just in case you didn't get it, I will post it here too: Are you having problems because the website is not working properly, or because you are not sure what you need to do to request a link? http://www.thet.org.uk/index.php?/page/index/healthlinks.html is the main Health Links page, with http://www.thet.org.uk/index.php?/page/index/getinvolved.html giving more information about the benefits of linking with a UK hospital, how to request a link, and application forms. It recommends that before applying, you should discuss with others at the hospital and work out exactly what you want to achieve from the link - the application form also asks questions about this. The application form is available as an online form (which you fill in on the website) at http://contact.thet.org.uk/form.php. There is also a Word version (available from the site) which I have attached in case that is easier for you. Hope that helps - let me know if you need any more info.

Hi Bramuel

I replied to the email you sent me a few days about having difficulties applying to THET for a partnership, but I am not sure whether you received it? I got a delivery failure message, but I know that you usually get the emails OK.

Just in case you didn't get it, I will post it here too:

Are you having problems because the website is not working properly, or because you are not sure what you need to do to request a link?

http://www.thet.org.uk/index.php?/page/index/healthlinks.html is the main Health Links page, with http://www.thet.org.uk/index.php?/page/index/getinvolved.html giving more information about the benefits of linking with a UK hospital, how to request a link, and application forms.

It recommends that before applying, you should discuss with others at the hospital and work out exactly what you want to achieve from the link - the application form also asks questions about this.

The application form is available as an online form (which you fill in on the website) at http://contact.thet.org.uk/form.php. There is also a Word version (available from the site) which I have attached in case that is easier for you.

Hope that helps - let me know if you need any more info.

Mary

Hi Bramuel

To quote from http://www.thet.org.uk/index.php?/page/index/healthlinks.html

...

What do Links involve?

Anything in health care! Links are long-term partnerships between health institutions and involve managers, clinicians, academic staff, non clinicians, support staff and students. Links are based on reciprocal training visits and ongoing contact to address already identified needs in the developing country.

Who benefits from Links?

We all benefit from Links. For example:

Patients benefit because improved training, procedures and systems ensure better treatment in developing country institutions that are often poorly resourced.

Health care workers in developing countries benefit from greater access to training, professional support and development, which improves confidence, morale and service provision. Staff working in hospitals, primary care centres and health training institutions in developing countries have increased personal development opportunities and feel part of a global health network.

Also take a look at the Publications page at http://www.thet.org.uk/index.php?/page/index/downloadablepublications.ht... especially the one called "an introduction to health links" which is a small file which gives a summary of what links are about.
