Welcome!!

Hi to all you English speaking medical people here in Algeria!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Louise and I'm an English teacher based in Algeria.
I have 17 years experience in the Health Service in the United Kingdom as a Gastrointestinal Nurse Specialist, trained to perform endoscopies independently and responsible for the training of doctors and nurses within my field.

Following a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, I am now living in Algeria with my Algerian husband, where I have been teaching Business English and English Conversation.
Then, Alhamdullah, I met Laura and Bachir Dib, an inspirational couple, who, through their American English school in Cheraga, gave me the opportunity to use my experience to design a Medical English course. As medicine has been my lifelong passion, I took the challenge, designed a course, and this week started teaching the first group of doctors.

It is my dream that over time, we can help medical personnel in Algeria develop the necessary English skills to access all the latest research and to benefit from the many International Conferences held in English throughout the world. My ultimate goal would be to organise a Medical Conference in English, here in Algeria, but I keep being reminded 'bshweeya bshweeya!!!'

I would love to hear your experiences, thoughts and hopes for the future and insh'Allah we can use this blog as a think tank where we can share ideas and support each other. I look forward to hearing from you.

Assalamou alaicoum ,Hi everyone.
First of all ,allow me to introduce my self I am one of the lucky doctors who have the great pleasure to be a student at Hopland institute ,and you can't imagine how fantastic it is to learn with an exceptional teacher like Mrs.Louise and Mr Lotfi,don't worry I am not going to do an advertisement but I share with Hopland's team something a little special something that calls "HOPE and AMBITION".
In fact I have a very important target and fortunately they are helping me to reach it and for that I would like to tell them simply "THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'VE WON MY DEEP RESPECT DEAR MASTERS".

It's not all work, work, work!!!!!!
