Trust welcomes Italian doctors

Staff from the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) bid “benvenuto” to a group of medical students from Italy on Wednesday who visited the hospital to learn more about the NHS.

The visit, which included a tour of the hospital’s Emergency Department, was organised by Professor Mauro Barchiesi from the Università Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona, and involved 14 second-year medical students.

Prof Barchiesi said, “This visit has given our students the opportunity to compare the Italian health service – the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale – with the NHS, which we consider to be the leading public health service in the world.
“The trip has been very valuable for the students and has opened their minds to medicine in a different country.”
