Bilingual health professional networkBilingual health professional network
General practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists who work in areas with high proportions of people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds face additional challenges to their peers, and often provide services above and beyond what’s expected. In acknowledgment of the invaluable role these GPs and pharmacists play in CALD communities and their different professional needs, NPS developed the bilingual health professional network.
Over the last few years many bilingual health professionals have participated in our programs and registered on our bilingual health professionals’ network. Their valuable contributions have included reviewing our resources or taking parts in community radio interviews, NPS carries out in partnership with SBS.
NPS aims to expand this network and build this network into a professional communication channel for you all, so your participation and support is welcomed and appreciated.
We would like to invite you to participate in our publications with updates from your experiences and knowledge or your association. To submit articles please contact us.
