University of Exeter Friends of David Nott Foundation

The David Nott Foundation was established in 2015 with the aim of educating surgeons and medical professionals with the skills to provide relief and assistance in conflict and natural disaster zones around the world. Through education, these surgeons can then teach others and improve both local healthcare and medical education in countries where need is most acute. We aim to raise awareness of the DNF’s work and fundraise to further this. All money raised from our fundraising goes towards teaching surgeons, many being from countries affected by conflict around the world. We also try to run events that will help students be better equipped to follow careers in the intersection between medicine and humanitarianism, learn about issues in the context of health facing people around the world and bring people interested in these issues together through establishing a physical presence on campus. Friends of David Nott Foundation is an independent student group, working with the David Nott Foundation directly to raise awareness of their work amongst university students and hopefully help train even more doctors.
