Nigerian Medical and Healthcare Professionals in Diaspora (UK/ROI) NMHPD is an association established exclusively for networking, charitable, education, scientific and research purposes. NMHPD is an acronym for Nigerian Medical and Healthcare Professionals in Diaspora (UK/ROI). This association was formed in 2010 following a long period of cross fertilisation of ideas amongst Nigerian Medical and Healthcare Professionals in the United Kingdom.
NMHPD is one of the main bodies representing Nigerian Medical and Healthcare Professionals in the United Kingdom. NMHPD represents the interests of over 7000 Physicians, Nurses, Radiographers, Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapist, Social Worker, Operating Department Practitioners, and other Allied Healthcare Professionals of Nigerian origin.
The association recognises the wealth of potential in the diversity of the professional as well as the intellectual capacity of its members against a background of the dearth of medical skills in the developing world.The association wishes to play a pivotal role in partnering with similar concerned organisations and bodies to improve the health and welfare of the less privileged, particularly those from Africa and Nigeria.
NMHPD is committed to supporting all its members in whatever circumstances they may find themselves. This commitment could take the form of assisting with identification of development needs, provision of informal mentoring, supporting members through personal family tragedies, professional difficulties etc.
The organisation will maintain confidentiality as appropriate and will use its collective strength to work in partnership with other relevant professional bodies, associations and unions to promote the needs and effective delivery of such needs of its members. NMHPD works positively with the government, ministers and key stakeholders in the UK/ROI and in Nigeria where appropriate to ensure that its members have opportunity to contribute to health policies and strategies with the aim of maximising the positive impact that such an inclusive approach could have.
Members are always expected to pay their subscriptions and conduct themselves professionally and act as role model for young Nigerian healthcare practitioners. NMHPD continues to promote the integration of its members into wider British culture, but equally works to preserve its distinct history and culture in order to ensure that its members keep a sense of their roots and identity.
All members are expected to contribute their time, professional skills and expertise when necessary for the benefit of the association as a whole.
