Hi there,

I'm a student physio in my final year of the course. I was looking at going to Ghana for a few months in the new year, when I am newly qualified. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about what needs to be done? I would be looking at going for a period of 3 months with a charity who have links with a hospital. They would arrange accommodation and introductions with the medical team.

I specifically wanted to know about things like insurance, and fitness to practice overseas? Is being CSP and HCPC registered enough, or do I need to register with the GPA as well? And also, would I need a visa to do voluntary work for this amount of time?
