1 Rotary Club of Mitcham Tuesday 31st May Lunch Meeting Natalie s Mitcham 12:30 pm for 1:00 pm start. Guest Speaker at our Lunch meeting is Len Brear from INTERPLAST. The 12 th of May, was International Nurses Day celebrated on the anniversary of Florence Nightingale s birth. The theme for this year is Nurses: A Force for Change: Improving health systems resilience which resonates very strongly with Interplast s mission and values. In the last financial year, Interplast sent 41 nurses on programs across the Asia Pacific region, some of them who volunteered their time on multiple programs. These nurses included those who have been volunteering for decades, those who were on their first program, and everything in between. One of Interplast s newest volunteer nurses is Cecilia Delgado, from Auckland in New Zealand. She participated in her first Interplast program in January this year, joining a surgical team to Lae, Papua New Guinea. Welcome Len.

5 6 Local surgeons taking charge Interplast and microsurgery in Bangladesh All of Interplast s programs have the end-goal of building local capacity and hopefully, one day doing ourselves out of a job. In Bangladesh, where Interplast has been delivering programs since 2004, the Dhaka Medical College & Hospital is now delivering its own Microsurgery Training Program, following a number of years of Interplast support setting up this sub-specialty in Bangladesh. The Microsurgery Training Program includes a basic course, an advanced course and a refresher course, all held over two days. The course is locally run and funded, with advisory support from a number of international surgeons, including Interplast volunteers. Interplast volunteer surgeon and Bangladesh Country Coordinator Russell Corlett recently returned to Dhaka for a week, joined by Professor Steve Morris from Canada, nurse educator Jan Rice and hand therapist Karen Fitt. The team delivered a busy and multi-faceted training program, which included perforator flap training for the surgeons, wound management education for the nurses, and workshops for the local allied health practitioners.
