Today, we are launching an appeal to raise funds for much-needed PPE for our Mildmay teams in Kenya and Uganda.We are taking action to address chronic shortages by securing our own supplies to ship directly to our sister charities.Our healthcare workers rely on PPE to protect themselves and their patients from being infected and from infecting others. Current evidence suggests that people living with HIV have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19. People living with HIV who are not on treatment or virally suppressed may be at an even greater risk.Right across Africa, shortages continue to leave doctors, nurses and other frontline workers (including our volunteers) dangerously ill-equipped, due to ongoing limited access to supplies such as gloves, medical masks, respirators, goggles, face shields, gowns, and aprons.We are asking for your donations to help us purchase PPE to ship to our teams in Mildmay Kenya and Mildmay Uganda, so they can minimise the risks of COVID infection and safely continue their work with the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach people living with and affected by HIV and other related health issues.Find out more and please donate: bit.ly/3zKSiPC ...

Social work education and training:Mildmay has been at the forefront of social work education for over five years. Students from in and around London are placed at Mildmay to complete their social work placement.Mildmay’s social work team, headed up by Lead Social Worker, Beverley Nelson, supports vulnerable patients within our hospital. It offers patients wrap-around care that is respectful, inclusive, and considerate of all care and support needs. Mildmay’s social work team works with patients, their carers, family, and advocate to promote collaborative working, anti-oppressive and anti-discriminative practices.Mildmay offers students the opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary team alongside consultants, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, doctors, nurses, and community nurse specialists. Students also can work with multi-disciplinary teams outside of the hospital to plan patients discharge.Due to the complexity of the needs of patients, cases often require multi-skilled and diverse professionals to meet their needs. Students have the opportunity to work with patients from the point of admission to the point of discharge and handing over to the community teams.Mildmay is a unique hospital that offers its patients a place to heal and a place to reconnect with family, friends, and loved ones. We help patients to build a support network that promotes wellbeing and social inclusion once patients have been discharged. Mildmay’s social work team prides itself in building and maintaining a positive relationship with patients to ensure that patient care is personalised and meets their assessed needs.Find out more about elective social work placements at Mildmay: mildmay.nhs.uk/social-work ...
