SingHealth & The National Healthcare Group (NHG) are the 2 health providers in Singapore. Between them, they are in charge of the various hospitals spread in and around Singapore, taking care of Singapore’s public primary and tertiary healthcare.

The purpose of their visit is to meet medical/dental students from all years, especially those who eventually would like to work in Singapore. This event includes everyone- Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans as well.

We would encourage you to attend this event, should you wish to work in Singapore in the near future as a medical/dental professional, a clinician scientist or have plans to embark on an elective in Singapore.

The agenda for the day includes a brief presentation conducted by them and subsequently, the floor is open to discussion (much like a Q & A). After the discussion, we would adjourn for tea.

Many of you may have met them on separate occasions in Singapore this summer, however, this marks a rare opportunity to meet them both together and ask them any questions which you may have.

If you would like to attend this event, please RSVP early (by the 21st of October) as they are preparing some freebies for you and we’ve got to arrange the catering.

RSVP to:-

* Clarissa Cheah– clarissa18uk@yahoo.co.uk OR
* Rosalynn Siantar- rosalynn86@yahoo.com

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!

Our members pay several JCs a visit with the aim to guide students who would like the eventually come to the UK to study on all sorts of matters, ranging from the good/bad/ugly of the numerous medical/dental colleges here to finances and student life in the UK.
