The Twenty-second Council has completed its term of office of two years. The report of the work done is presented in the pages of this Annual Report. This being the election year, a new Council is to be elected. WORK OF THE TWENTY-SECOND COUNCIL (2009 – 2011) Membership The membership of the College as of 31 March 2011 stood at 1407 compared to 1368 two years ago. There has been an addition of 23 Fellows and Honorary Fellows and 4 Collegiate members to the College membership list. In the two years, the number of MMed(FM) holders has increased from 297 in 2009 to 321 as of March 2011, an addition of 24 holders. The number of GDFM holders has increased from 434 in 2009 to 492 as of March 2011, an addition of 58 holders. Assets As of 31 March 2011, the College’s cash and cash equivalents stand at $3,965,183 as compared to $3,262,732 a year ago. Courses conducted In the two years under review, the College conducted 12 skills courses, and 8 modules of the modular courses. Thanks are due to the many resource persons, speakers, chairpersons, tutors, and trainers in the various educational activities. The College would not be able to do without these people. College publications A total of 11 issues of the Singapore Family Physician have been produced during the two years under review. Since 2009, the Singapore Family Physician is in the Western Pacific Region Index Medicus (WPRIM). A total of 8 issues of the College Mirror, and 3 issues of the College Digest were produced during the two years under review. Thanks are due to the many contributors to the College publications. Research related activities In 2010, the College hosted the 2nd Asia Pacific Primary Care Research Conference with 116 paid participants. The Fellowship by Assessment Classes hosted two workshops on research skills, and each candidate produced 3 clinical reviews, and a research project each as part of the course work. RELATIONSHIPS The College enjoyed good relationship and collegiality with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, Health Promotion Board, Singapore Medical Council, Singapore Medical Association and the Academy of Medicine. It also enjoyed good fraternity with colleagues in the restructured hospitals, the Polyclinic clusters and GP clinics. The synergy was particularly strong between the College and these stakeholders during the H1N1 outbreak which occurred in April to August of 2009. THE COLLEGE COUNCIL AND SECRETARIAT Much of the achievement of the two years was made possible by a synergistic College Council and hardworking College Secretariat. The membership has also been supportive of the efforts of the College in vocational training and continuing professional development. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Executive Committee, members of the retiring Council, and members of the College Secretariat for the contributions they have made to the College in the last two years. ELECTIONS This Annual General Meeting will also be electing its next College Council for 2011 – 2013. NOTE OF APPRECIATION To one and all, thank you for the support and encouragement throughout the last two years of my term as President. It has been a pleasure serving the College Council and College membership.
