The healthcare system in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago has its challenges. These include high rates of non-communicable diseases and a shortage of nurses and midwives.

There are thousands of healthcare and other professionals with connections to Trinidad and Tobago, who have experience of working in the UK health service and elsewhere in the world. Many of these individuals have a passion for making a contribution to improving the quality of the health service in the twin island republic.

TTHUF is an independent organisation formed of UK-based healthcare and other professionals with affiliations to Trinidad and Tobago who are committed to supporting safer and more effective healthcare service provision.

Objectives:

Support the varying healthcare systems of Trinidad and Tobago.

Collaborate with the Ministry of Health and other health organisations, training institutions and registration bodies, to help attain the highest level of healthcare for the public.

Help to support the representation of patients in T&T by working in collaboration with NGOs and healthcare associations.

Share best practice in healthcare between the UK and Trinidad and Tobago.

Funds will be used for:

Representation at the UK market visit to Port of Spain in March 2018, where there will be the opportunity to meet key stakeholders in the T&T healthcare sector.

Implementation of our strategy, that focuses on vulnerable groups such as people with non-communicable diseases, children, older people and people with mental health problems.

Contributing to improving standards, so that people receive safer and more effective care.

Working in partnership with healthcare providers and being advocates to people who use healthcare services.
