What is your greatest patient story in O&P? 
My greatest patient story in O&P is when I restored a soldier's bilateral limbs (BLK) in 2018.
 
What do you claim is your speciality - your O&P passion?

Prosthetics, specifically lower limb prosthetics and seeing that mobility recovered.

 What do you like most about practising O&P?

What I like most about O&P is the ability to restore patient's/client's mobility capacity. It gives me joy.

What frustrates you about O&P?What frustrates me about O&P is that there are less opportunities to practice this profession in Uganda so we have to follow different paths sometimes.
 
How do you build rapport with patients in your care?
I build rapport with my patient in my patient care by introducing my self first and then I tell a friendly short story related to their condition which builds hope and courage in the patient.
