SingHealth Hospital Attachments (16th Aug - 23rd Aug 2006)
With many thanks to SingHealth who allowed us to embark on this 1 week hospital attachment and choose our departments we like too! We were posted, depending on the speciality to either KKH, SGH or Changi General Hospital.
The attachment, which was opened to preclinical and clinicals was a blast. We learnt, we observed and within the scope of our abilities, we helped. What a week. It certainly puts what we are learning at university into some perspective.

NHG Hospital Tours (23rd Aug - 24th Aug 2006)
Whilst being explained the works, aims and goals of hospitals under the NHG umbrella (NUH, IMH, TTSH, AH) , we were also given a grand tour, courtesy of the National Healthcare Group. Check out the museum at IMH – we are indeed lucky to be in the era of modern technology, some of the ancient equipment is just painful!

RAG for CURE (SingHealth Foundation)
They gave (who cares if they stared at us strangely & had numerous questions!) and we raised for the SingHealth Foundation, to the tune of a fantastic amount of $4,500!! Not too shabby for 2 days work!

Freshers and Members Gathering 26 Aug 2006
Venue: 5a Chancery Hill Road
Time: 5.30pm-10.30pm
Agenda: Discussion with clinicians from the National HealthCare Group and subsequently a dinner buffet
This event is held every year and is exactly what it says- a gathering. So it’s informal and held at one of our member’s homes (with many thanks!). We are fortunate this year to have the NHG come meet us and also give a presentation on the likes of working in Singapore with them. They also gave us some souvenirs- the stuffed bears were a hit!

SingHealth Dinner at Mariott’s 28th Aug 2006
Venue: Marriot Hotel
Time: 6.30pm- late
A night of socialising and semi-fine buffet dining organised by SingHealth. Intermingled with us lot were the xi-fus in medicine from whom provided some really good advice to being a student, the direction in which the healthcare system in Singapore is heading towards, their individual specialities and what we can do to equip ourselves with the capabilities to ensure a brighter future.
