Last week, we were delighted to hold the CGHP East of England Annual Learning Event bringing together our 2026 and 2027 Global Health Fellows.
Now in its sixth year, this Global Health Fellowship, delivered in partnership between NHS England East of England and Cambridge Global Health Partnerships (CGHP), offers senior resident doctors from across the region the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and development opportunities in global health partnership working. The learning event provides a valuable opportunity for fellows to connect with one another, explore key global health themes, share experiences, and learn more about the CGHP EoE Global Health Fellowship – which is an unique offering. We are thankful to Bill Irish, Postgraduate Dean of Medicine, University of Cambridge; Regional Postgraduate Dean, NHS East of England, for sharing an inspiring keynote and Charlotte Patient, MD FRCOG, Consultant Obstetrician CUHFT, Associate Postgraduate Dean NHSE-EOE, Affiliated Assistant Professor, University of Cambridge, for her dedication and commitment to this programme, and to all the Supervisors who support the fellows throughout the fellowship.
Key themes that emerged:
🤝 The importance of partnership and collaborative working in addressing complex global health challenges
🌍 Approaching global health with curiosity, humility and a willingness to learn across different cultures, contexts and healthcare systems
📈 Recognising that the fellowship is just the beginning, with many opportunities to remain engaged in global health and health partnership work long after the fellowship ends
