JurongHealth Campus Nursing Symposium 2017

Close to 300 nursing delegates from various public healthcare institutions, intermediate and long-term care institutions and nursing homes were hosted at our very first JurongHealth Campus Nursing Symposium. The two-day symposium centred around the theme “Building Capability for Quality and Safety”, and covered a range of topics such as providing quality care, inculcating best practices, patient safety, harnessing IT to improve patient care and work processes, and developing resilience in the nursing career and more. It provided a platform for nurses to gain insights into the latest trends and developments in healthcare practices and facilitated open discussion on the challenges and issues faced. It was an insightful learning session and the knowledge gained will certainly help to challenge standards in providing healthcare to the community.

World Hearing Day Research Symposium 2017

Ng Teng Fong General Hospital was proud to host our inaugural World Hearing Day Research Symposium in collaboration with Ear Science Institute Australia with the theme “Advancing Hearing Through Innovation & Research”. With the aim of tapping on everyone’s knowledge and years of experience in areas relevant to ear and hearing health, this symposium gathered people from various disciplines and organisations, including scientists, engineers, researchers, ENT surgeons, audiologists and other Allied Health Professionals. It was a fruitful exchange of research efforts, perspectives and ideas and we hope to see the sharing translate to positive clinical outcomes.
