Education Exchange Programme
Learning side by side with our colleagues in Uganda.
The Education Exchange Programme (Ed Ex) brings health professionals from Mildmay UK together with colleagues in Uganda to share skills and learn from each other.
Ed Ex began in 2023 as a pilot at Kumi Hospital in eastern Uganda, where two trainee GPs completed the first placements. It now runs with Mildmay Uganda, our partner since 1998. In 2026, a team of six from Mildmay UK spent time with Mildmay Uganda and Wellspring Children’s Medical Centre: on the wards, in community health camps, and with researchers and teaching staff.
UK participants come home with experience that is hard to gain in the NHS. Ugandan colleagues, many of them working in small teams with little specialist support, gain teaching, peer support and research links.
Ed Ex is part of our Uganda Health Programme. Your donation helps Mildmay Uganda train health workers and bring care to the communities that need it most.
