National Healthcare Group Polyclinics

The Toa Payoh Integrated Development (TPID) held its ground-breaking ceremony on Sunday and we are thrilled to be a part of this new development. Slated for 2030, TPID will feature the new National Healthcare Group (NHG) Toa Payoh Polyclinic, a bigger library, swimming pools, badminton courts, indoor halls for team sports, a gym and sheltered futsal, tennis and netball courts and an upgraded town park. Residents in Toa Payoh will be happy to hear that the new NHG Toa Payoh Polyclinic is centrally located to provide primary care closer to home and serve residents and patients of all ages.

Expected to be completed by 2030 as part of the Toa Payoh Integrated Development, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics redeveloped NHG Toa Payoh Polyclinic will provide residents and patients with a comprehensive scope of services from medical, nursing, allied health, dental as well as services for seniors such as frailty screening and management, and health promotion interventions to encourage healthy living and active ageing. This morning, I joined Ministers Edwin Tong SC and Hong Tat Chee, MOS Siow Huang Gan, Advisers Saktiandi Supaat Chong Kee Hiong, fellow CEOs Alan Goh, Cher Pong Ng, Yu-Ning Hwang, Anthony Tan and #NHGP colleagues at the ground-breaking ceremony. When the development is ready, it will enable NHG Polyclinics to build closer partnerships with co-located agencies, Sport Singapore, National Parks Board, National Library Board and strengthen preventive care efforts to improve population health outcomes.   #OneNHG

By 2030, it is projected that around one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 or above. #NHGP Care Coordinators such as Ms Doreen Chan provide screening and lifestyle advice to help our seniors age well.      Find out how Doreen enables patients to maintain their independence and quality of life, in “Up Close With” section in Transforming Primary Care Issue 26:   https://lnkd.in/ga7jpJ9v   #NHGP #TransformingPrimaryCare

We had an incredible evening at the Family Medicine Convocation Ceremony & Dinner 2024 organised by College of Family Physicians Singapore President Tien Hua Wong and his team. Congratulations to the 2024 National Healthcare Group Polyclinics Fellowship (FCFP(S)) Graduands, Collegiate Members (MCFP(S)), MMed(FM) Graduands, and GDFM Graduands and #NHGP recipients of the inaugural Starry Night Foundation Award. Together, we will advance the future of family medicine.

The National Healthcare Group Polyclinics was honoured to be invited by the Agency for Integrated Care (Singapore) (AIC) to attend the launch of REAL, a new community youth mental health campaign by AIC. This initiative, which acknowledges the emotions and challenges faced by youths and young working adults, represents a significant step forward in raising mental health awareness and strengthening community support for the mental health needs of youths. The campaign was officially launched by Dr Janil Puthucheary (Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, and Ministry of Health) at the 5th Mental Health Film Festival organised by the Mental Health Film Festival (Singapore) Ltd. Hosted by two dynamic youth leaders from Youth Corps Singapore, the event radiated positive energy and brought together key stakeholders from institutions and social service agencies dedicated to supporting community mental wellness. The audience was deeply moved by the powerful short films created by youths, which addressed sensitive mental health topics with thoughtfulness, authenticity and warmth. These films shed light on the challenges and inner struggles faced by caregivers of individuals with mental health conditions, underscored the vital importance of providing support for those struggling and demonstrated the role of empathy in fostering meaningful connections with individuals navigating mental health challenges. #NHGP was honoured to attend the event as a valued partner, reaffirming our dedication to advancing mental health care, particularly within the primary care setting. It was a privilege to reconnect with esteemed colleagues from Institute of Mental Health and MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation (MOHT), gaining valuable insights from distinguished leaders such as Prof Daniel Fung, Prof Gerald Koh and Dr Weng Mooi Tan. Engaging in meaningful discussions with community partners further strengthened our shared commitment to building a robust mental health ecosystem — especially for youth mental health — by ensuring services are accessible, comprehensive and tailored to the needs of the community. The event left us inspired and energised to continue our efforts in advancing mental wellness. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this meaningful cause and are committed to working hand-in-hand with partners to create a supportive, inclusive and holistic mental health landscape for our community.

I had a very fruitful and engaging discussion with National Healthcare Group Polyclinics 2024 graduands and 2025 candidates at the Post-MMed Exam Debrief last evening. Together with #NHGP Drs Darren Seah, Donna Tan, Khai Wei Tan, Gabriel Ding and Wern Ee Tang, we spoke about What's after MMed? in the areas of Clinical Projects, Quality, Contributions to Clinics, Research, and Teaching with both graduands and candidates. I hope the Learning Journey and Exam Experience shared by the 2024 graduands will inspire and encourage our 2025 candidates. I am heartened by the enthusiasm and commitment of all our participants. Together, we will continue to advance the contributions of family medicine to primary care.

Happy to celebrate the achievements of fellow colleagues at the Ministry of Health (Singapore) National Day Awards Investiture 2024 today. Congratulations to all National Healthcare Group Polyclinics and National Healthcare Group colleagues who received their awards from Health Minister Mr Ong Ye Kung and Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for Health Mr Masagos Zulkifli.
