Day 10 started with the
penultimate Project Awesome session. We did push ups, sit ups,
burpees and ran lengths of the grass before heading back to the hotel
for breakfast and the morning briefing.
After the briefing we
had a team leaders meeting, to try and work out issues we were having
at the camp. Previously we had been feeding back problems to Alison
the Medical Coordinator, but she was a bit overwhelmed and we
realised it was quicker and simpler, and reduced her workload if the
team leaders met each day to brainstorm common problems occurring in
clinics. We identified lack of translations for patients at
hospitals, and lack of guidelines for treatment or management of
common conditions as pressing issues. It was also thought that team
leader meetings would help new team leaders with handover and ensure
better continuity given the regularly changing stream of volunteers.
