Scotland/Malawi Partnership

As part of the ongoing programme within the Scotland Malawi Project the Scottish Pathology Network (SPAN) has developed links with pathology in Malawi. Initial scoping has indicated areas of mutual benefit which could be developed in education, diagnosis and research. As part of the collaboration Professor Carey the Clinical Lead for SPAN visited Malawi in 2007 to present lectures and to scope the potential of the Scottish pathology community collaborating with Malawi in the development of initiatives in histopathology laboratory services. Since then there has been ongoing support from histopathologists in Scotland to the delivery of medical education in Malawi.

The lecture programme and travel have been supported by Scottish Government, NHS Scotland and NHS Tayside.

Attached are the lectures delivered from 2007 to date from Professor Frank Carey, Dr Sandy Reid and Dr Shaun Walsh who can be contacted through the SPAN office - see how to contact us.
