Since the last update Morrow has been able to return to Ghana for the final year of his studies, COVID has meant that whilst the travel required additional checks it was not too much of challenge for him to get back.

He’s now in the final weeks of the first term and is currently sitting his exams, which include written tests, practical assessment and presentation elements. This terms studies have focused on the subjects of biomechanics, clinical evaluation and prosthetic and orthotic theory. Morrow has tried to focus as much time on the practical work as possible and has been working with patients to make orthotic devices. He’s also been preparing his final thesis topic with his lecturers, which will be looking at the use of local materials and tech to make prosthesis and orthotic devices; something Morrow is passionate about trying to incorporate into his work.

Following completion of his exam period he’ll be able to return back to The Gambia for his three months summer break where he’ll continue to apply his knowledge and experiences learnt at the Banjul Rehabilitation Centre. Of real interest to him is changing the processes around socket making, incorporating what he has learnt at the OTC moving forwards.
