The British Pakistani Psychiatrists' Association (BPPA) was formed in 2001 and has now become fully operational. Currently it has over 144 regular and 32 associate members but it is hoped that membership will double by the end of 2002.

The BPPA is not about nationality. It is about cultural diversity in multi-cultural Britain and it celebrates cultural heritage in collaboration and in integration with British communities. Psychiatrists from the subcontinent have provided a high quality and consistent service to the NHS and wish to participate in the development of the new NHS with full vigour. The BPPA aims to develop social connections and peer support and has already established social and academic links with Indian, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and Arab associations. There is also an opportunity to enrich the psychiatric scene further by exchange programmes in psychiatry. Links have been developed with its counterpart in the USA and a joint conference is planned for 2003. This will offer advice on careers, training and other relevant issues confronting members.
