What does PRIME do?

PRIME is committed to improving the quality and depth of medical care especially of patients in poorer situations. We do this in partnership with local healthcare providers and groups giving teaching that equips and empowers them to give excellent clinical care for the whole person.

Educate - PRIME seeks to provide the very highest quality medical education which restores a compassionate whole person perspective to modern medicine.

Empower - PRIME assists our partners on the ground to develop sustainable education programmes appropriate for their situation.

Engage - PRIME only provides training at the invitation of an appropriate local partner. Teaching programmes are developed to reflect the needs identified by these local partners.

Enthuse - PRIME motivates healthcare providers to provide the best medical care in some of the most resource-poor countries in the world.

Equip - PRIME works in partnership with health education groups and individuals to help them develop first class practical and clinical education skills.

Embed - PRIME seeks to work closely with medical and nursing organisations, universities and departments of health such that, over time, healthcare provision may be changed to reflect care of the whole person: body, mind and spirit.
