Conclusions: Towards a model for sustainable professional volunteering. 330 $aThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book investigates what international placements of healthcare employees in low resource settings add to the UK workforce and the efficacy of the its national health system. The authors present empirical data collected from a volunteer deployment project in Uganda focused on reducing maternal and new-born mortality and discuss the learning and experiential outcomes for UK health care professionals acting as long term volunteers in low resource settings. They also develop a model for structured placement that offers optimal learning and experiential outcomes and minimizes risk, while shedding new light on the role that international placements play as part of continuing professional development both in the UK and in other sending countries. 606 $aComparative government 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aPublic health administration 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aHealth Care Management 606 $aHealth Administration 606 $aAfrican Politics 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aPublic health administration. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aHealth Care Management. 615 24$aHealth Administration. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 676 $a320 686 $aMED002000$aPOL000000$aPOL053000$aSOC042000$aSOC045000$2bisacsh 700 $aAckers$b Helen Louise$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0856704 702 $aAckers-Johnson$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aChatwin$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aTyler$b Natasha$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910852989603321 996 $aHealthcare, Frugal Innovation, and Professional Voluntarism$91984119 997 $aUNINA
