Join ISANA SANiTy members in conversation with health care professionals (student and staff) to gain valuable insights into the Chinese health care system. We’ll hear about the process that a citizen would have to undertake to see a doctor, specialist, obtain medications, and generally receive support, as well as the differences and similarities between the hospital systems in China and Australia. This session will also include an introduction to StudyAdelaide’s newly developed Offshore Critical Incident Manual. ISANA members will leave this session with a better understanding of Chinese students’ issues when dealing with Australia’s system, and how best to support and refer Chinese students, studying offshore in China.

Format:   

Small group brainstorming and discussion of current issues in referring and supporting Chinese onshore and offshore students with health issues. These scenarios will be addressed by our panellist experts, including tips and examples by each panellist. The final 20 minutes will be devoted to questions from the attendees.

The workshop will be conducted via Zoom to enable presenters and attendees from across Australia and New Zealand to attend the session.
