At the National University Hospital (NUH), we recognise the pivotal role general practitioners (GPs) and family physicians play in providing and ensuring that the general public healthcare is of the highest quality and standard. As such, we believe that through closer partnerships, we can deliver more personalised, comprehensive, and efficient medical care for our mutual patients. The NUH General Practitioner Liaison Centre (GPLC) aims to build rapport and facilitate collaboration among GPs, family physicians and our specialists. As a central coordinating point, we provide assistance in areas such as:
• Continuing Medical Education (CME) training • Enquiries about our hospital’s services and/or specialists • Medical appointments and patient referrals Through building these important platforms of shared care and communication, we hope that our patients will be the greatest beneficiaries. NUH CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME) EVENTS At the NUH, we strive to advance health by integrating excellent clinical care, research and education. As part of our mission, we are committed to provide regular Continuing Medical Education (CME) events for GPs and family physicians. These events aim to provide the latest and relevant clinical updates practical for your patient care. Organised jointly by the GP Liaison Centre (GPLC) and the Medical Affairs (MA) Department, our specialists will present different topics in their own areas of specialties in these symposiums, which are held monthly.

2 The National University Hospital (NUH) is a tertiary referral centre with a comprehensive range of medical, surgical and dental specialties. It offers adult and paediatric services, including separate Accident & Emergency departments for both groups of patients. The hospital provides organ transplant programmes for adults (in kidney, liver and pancreas) and is the only public hospital in Singapore to offer a paediatric kidney and liver transplant programme.
A member of the National University Health System, it is the principal teaching hospital of the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (YLL SoM) and NUS Faculty of Dentistry (FoD). With combined resources from the NUS YLL SoM and NUS FoD, the NUH is poised to meet the healthcare needs of patients, train future generations of doctors more effectively, and help develop solutions to our healthcare problems through research.
In 2007, the NUH was chosen by the Ministry of Health to develop two new national centres, the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) and the National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) to meet the growing needs for cardiac and cancer treatment.
The NUH raised the bar in local patient care and safety standards by achieving the Joint Commission International accreditation in 2004. The hospital has since been re-certified three times, also becoming the first local hospital to be accredited under Academic Medical Centre (AMC) Standards for medical education and human subjects research in 2013.
Today, patient safety and good clinical outcomes remain the focus of the hospital as it continues to play a key role in the training of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, and in translational research which paves the way for new cures and lease of life.

6 NCIS
The National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) is a national specialist centre for cancer located at the National University Hospital (NUH). A member of the National University Health System (NUHS), it is the only public cancer centre in Singapore treating both paediatric and adult cancers in one facility.
The goal of the NCIS is to provide comprehensive yet personalised care for each and every patient incorporating cancer awareness, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care. With the patient being the focus of all our programmes, sound medical knowledge and advanced technology are combined with the human touch of specialist doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in innovative ways to fight cancer.
Many of our clinicians serve as surgeons or physicians while lecturing at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Their dual roles have enabled them to be attuned to the latest medical developments and together with their involvement in cutting-edge research, they are able to bring new cures and treatments that benefit patients at the NCIS.

79 80 National University Centre for Organ Transplantation (NUCOT)
The National University Centre for Organ Transplantation (NUCOT) is a one-stop centre dedicated to the
care of patients undergoing kidney, liver and pancreas transplants. Established in 2008 under the National NUCOT University Hospital (NUH), NUCOT brings together an expert team of doctors including transplant physicians, surgeons, intensivists, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, all working together to provide expert care for organ transplant recipients and donors. Doctors from the National University of Singapore and the NUH have had a long tradition of pioneering advances in transplant medicine and surgery in Singapore. The first kidney transplant in Singapore was performed by a team of surgeons from the National University of Singapore Surgical Unit. The first liver transplant and first simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant in Singapore were both performed at the NUH. Currently, more than half of all solid organ transplants performed at restructured hospitals in Singapore are performed at NUCOT. NUCOT is also a major referral centre for complex tertiary care, with patients being referred from all hospitals in Singapore and from overseas centres. NUCOT is the only transplant centre in Singapore which hosts both paediatric and adult organ transplant services under one roof. In addition to its clinical services, NUCOT is a key driver for training and research in transplantation. It is accredited by the International Society of Nephrology for training in kidney transplantation and hosts fellows from throughout Asia for specialty training in both kidney and liver transplantation. Together with its initiatives in organ transplantation research, NUCOT is at the forefront of advancing the care of organ failure patients in Singapore and beyond.

120 Specialist Clinical Department - Anaesthesia
Established in 1985, the Department of Anaesthesia provides services managed by four different units:
Clinical Anaesthesia • Provides anaesthesia services for both paediatric and adult patients in all routine and subspecialised surgical and interventional procedures.
Perioperative Medicine • Provides perioperative care for our patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings. The department is committed to minimising the risks for our patients and maximising the benefit from their surgery. Our outpatient services are based in the Anaesthesia Outpatient Consult Clinic whereas our on-call specialists attend to our inpatients. Anaesthesia
121 Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) • The National University Hospital (NUH) Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) is a 14-bedded unit that provides critical care to adult patients who have undergone general and/or specialty surgical procedures. The unit is managed by accredited intensivists – anaesthetists, and the team comprises an attending intensivist, senior and junior residents, clinical fellows and nurses. We work in a multi-disciplinary environment which further includes allied health professionals, like pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, dietitians and medical social workers. Together, we aspire to deliver compassionate bedside care, driven by evidence-based practices.
Pain Management Unit • The Pain Management Unit of the Department of Anaesthesia comprises a team of doctors and nurses working in tandem with other interested and experienced allied health professionals to holistically manage pain symptoms and alleviate suffering. • The Acute Pain Service of the Pain Management Unit manages acute pain associated with surgery, trauma and acute medical conditions such as mucositis and sickle cell crisis. Using a wide range of treatment modalities from patient controlled analgesia, epidurals to peripheral perineural infusions to manage pain in our patients, the service provides 24-7 care during the most critical periods of their recovery. • The Chronic Pain Service of the Pain Management Unit employs a comprehensive spectrum of treatment modalities, often in a coordinated simultaneous fashion, to a wide variety of persistent painful conditions ranging from non-malignant conditions arising from the spine, nerves or visceral organs, to recalcitrant cancer pain in both adult and paediatric patients.

134 Specialist Clinical Department - Emergency Medicine
Our Emergency Medicine Department (EMD) is staffed by 27 registered emergency specialists with a common vision:
To develop a world-class department which offers a high tertiary level of clinical service in an environment of excellent teaching and training, vibrant research and healthy work-life balance. Our specialists are engaged in a number of specialised and multidisciplinary research efforts and clinical trials, reflecting our broad array of scientific interests. Each specialist has areas of interest and had further training in: emergency cardiac care, disaster medicine, observational medicine, trauma, toxicology. Other areas of interest include critical care, risk management, health processes, prehospital care and geriatric emergency care. The department prides in practising evidence-based medicine through clinical protocols that culminated in the writing of a book entitled “Guide to the Essentials in Emergency Medicine” published by McGraw-Hill. The first edition was released in 2004 and sold more than 15,000 copies through nine reprints. The second, current edition, which was published in 2014, has sold approximately 10,000 copies so far, and has reached the shores of countries such as Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Majority of the faculty members of EMD are trained facilitators of evidence-based medicine practice and have contributed actively in the development of evidence based medicine culture in the hospital. Being affiliated with Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, the department plays an active role in the education of medical students. We coordinate the rotation of medical students amongst the emergency departments in Singapore. The department also supports the Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training programmes for the hospital. The department consists of a group of physicians with a strong passion for teaching. Through the development of a well-planned training programme, we have achieved consistent results in the post graduate education of future emergency physicians. Being a tertiary hospital with a good variety of clinical cases, the NUH is popular amongst the trainees of Emergency Medicine. A&E
135 Our 24-hour Emergency Medicine Department at NUH is staffed 24/7 by registered specialists working together with other in-house specialists to provide cost effective, efficient and quality treatment for all emergencies, major disasters and mass casualties.

140 Specialist Clinical Department - Laboratory Medicine
The NUH Department of Laboratory Medicine was established in May 1988. Over the years, the physical environment and process flow at our department have changed significantly. We have continuously developed and upgraded as new methodologies and technologies become available for clinical diagnostic use. Our main core laboratory facility has been extensively remodelled with contemporary environmental control air- conditioning, non-glare lighting, sound-absorbing ceiling tiles, clever waste disposal and laboratory bench design for optimal work efficiency. Our Core Laboratory boasts of a fully automated line system comprising sample manager, centrifuge/decapper attached by sophisticated tracking and robotics to automated analytical modules for chemistry, haematology, immunoassay and coagulation testing. Samples are generally untouched by human handling throughout the entire testing cycle. Our departmental facilities have been significantly enhanced with the recent commissioning of a fully certified BSL-3 facility, state-of-the-art stem cell laboratory support, cytogenetics, and a rapidly maturing Molecular Diagnosis Centre. In addition, it has a fully operational outpatient testing facility at our specialist clinics area. This outpatient laboratory supports a comprehensive menu of chemistry, immunoassay and haematology testing. We appreciate the need to support outpatient ambulatory care, and recognise this as an important developing trend. Lab Medicine
