Nursing lecturer Nokuthula Majingo had always dreamed of presenting her findings at a research conference. Now, less than a year since graduating from the University of Bedfordshire, Nokuthula has been able to do just that, after presenting key findings at the second National HIV/AIDS STIs & Other Related Infectious Diseases Research Conference (NHASORCH II) in Botswana.
Nokuthula Majingo, who took an MSc in Public Health, presented her results at the conference in Gaborone. The conference theme was ‘Research Partnerships and Capacity Development’ and Nokuthula presented her findings on the contributing factors to high risk sexual behaviour among patients in the Kgatleng District of Botswana.
Originally studying at the University of Botswana and the National Health Institute of Botswana, Nokuthula took the difficult decision to study away from home because she knew that the University of Bedfordshire placed an emphasis on excellence in research skills.
She said: “Almost all the modules were research focused. I was eager to acquire skills and expertise in research and always dreamed of seeing myself presenting at a research conference – something I have now done.”
Nokuthula is now a lecturer in the General Nursing Programme at the Institute of Health Sciences in Gaborone teaching Research and Community Health Nursing. She is registered with the Nurses and Midwifery Council of Botswana and is also a member of the Nurses Association of Botswana.
