In this episode of It’s Notts Just Physio, we’re joined by Benson, now a third-year Adult Nursing student, who reflects on his elective placement in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. As an international student himself, Benson shares what motivated him to take part in an overseas placement and how his background shaped his experience.

Benson talks candidly about his time in the accident and emergency department, the challenges he witnessed in a high-pressure clinical environment, and how he learned to navigate them. This thoughtful episode explores powerful reflections on personal resilience, professional growth, and the impact of seeing healthcare through a global lens. The episode offers a valuable insight and inspiration for students considering similar opportunities.
