Abstract

My experience working in the UK National Health Service (NHS) has been largely positive. Reflecting on my previous experiences makes me aware of the need for a standardised structure of practice to be put in place to guide the care of patients in Ghana as well as to ensure patient safety. There is still a lot that needs to be done in terms of the legal framework that guides medical  practice in Ghana. Civil society groups and other medical groups should champion the enactment of laws on emergency care, patient safety, patient communication and patient involvement in their own care. Most of what I’ve discussed in this essay can be implemented with little to no resources.
