Healthcare Professionals Community formed to support growth of 9,000 workers

Members of the community are from nine healthcare associations.

The Healthcare Services Employees' Union (HSEU) has formed the Healthcare Professionals Community (HPC) to support the growth of about 9,000 healthcare workers.

Members of HPC, who are workers of the nine healthcare associations, can access the resources of HSEU and the National Trade Union Congress (NTUC).

The HPC will extend training opportunities available to public healthcare workers to those in private healthcare and specialised fields such as optometry, oral health therapy, psychology, and physiotherapy.

As part of its partnership with the healthcare associations, HSEU also formed Operation and Technology Roadmaps (OTR) and Company Training Committees (CTC) to support workers impacted by sector changes.

HSEU said healthcare workers can expect improved wages, welfare, and career prospects as part of these efforts.

To strengthen ties with the associations, HSEU will launch the Healthcare Mentorship Programme (HCMP) in early 2025 in partnership with the Ong Teng Cheong Labour Leadership Institute. 

The two-way mentorship will allow association and HSEU leaders to exchange expertise.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
