Track 2B Responding to Surge in COVID-19 Cases in Singapore at the Height of the Pandemic
Track Synopsis: In early April 2020, there was a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases, largely due to rapid transmission within the migrant worker dormitories. This led to a significant strain in the healthcare system and a need to increase the capacity and care for COVID-19 positive patients.
The programme for this track presents an overview on the response to the surge in COVID-19 cases where a multi- disciplinary, inter-agency team set up, operationalised and managed a COVID-19 Community Care Facility (CCF) in Expo and provided clinical care of COVID-19 positive patients.
Our speakers will share how they engineered the infrastructure, workflows and processes and operationalised the largest CCF in a non-healthcare facility, making it fit for purpose. Speakers will also share on the various innovations implemented to support the clinical teams and processes that enabled the care teams to deliver high quality care and achieve excellent clinical outcomes.

Track 2D Communicating a Pandemic in the Age of Social Media
Track Synopsis: The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis that is unprecedented in its global scope, severity, and duration. In this protracted crisis, there have been serial and major changes and consequential interactions between outbreak intensity, government response and population behaviours.
We cover some public health interventions in Singapore that required the cooperation of the public, including advisories and mandates on mask use, sickness leave and quarantine policies, roll-out of vaccines, and use of self-test kits. While these interventions are generally useful to bring a COVID-19 epidemic under control, we illustrate how population behaviours to well-meaning interventions could in some cases may also have unintended consequences that also hinder control of the epidemic.
We then reflect on the case for frequent sensing of receptiveness towards these interventions ahead of and after implementation, as well as the need to monitor for and mitigate any potential unintended consequences.

Block 3: Education Session 3: 1600 – 1715hrs
Track 3 Learning from Disruption in Medical Education
Track Synopsis: Among its many other impacts, COVID-19 significantly disrupted workplace- and campus-based medical education. Students were withdrawn from bedside teaching and redirected to online learning or, in some countries, to support activities such as staffing helplines or supporting frontline staff. Yet while core educational experiences were disrupted, new educational experiences were introduced.
In this track we provide examples of change in response to Covid-19 and reflect on the short- and longer-term consequences and impacts of these and other changes at a systems, group and individual level.
Our purpose in doing so is to consider how we can use our learning during Covid-19 to change things fundamentally in positive ways for the future of medical education. What was lost and what was gained? What is truly essential? What can be changed for the better going forward?
The COVID-19 crisis seems to be passing. Our challenge henceforth is to learn from the choices and sacrifices necessitated by the pandemic.

Track 4B Appreciating Multimorbidity: A Game Changer for Primary Care
Track Synopsis: Multimorbidity is an increasing phenomenon primary care clinicians face with daily in their consultations with patients. In the primary care setting, Family Physicians manage patients holistically, providing care that boundary spans across organ systems. In doing so, considerations of multiple chronic conditions often arise and affect treatment options and goals. We intend to showcase both the broad strategies of understanding the care implications of multimorbidity as well as the current term initiatives in locally performed research that will distil crucial knowledge to build a future care system that will provide better care for such patients.

Showcase on Medical Humanities Session 7: 1045 – 1200hrs
Track 4 The Think Project: Dialogues in Medical Humanities
Track Synopsis: The dualism of human nature is our greatest strength -- but also poses the greatest challenge. When our individual potential is maximised therein lies fulfilment; however, working and living in a collective unit can bring about disenchantment, alienation, even burnout.
Navigating this tension is critical to understanding ourselves and the people around us, especially at a time when healthcare functions in a team-based, complex and dynamic environment. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach drawing from the traditional humanities such as philosophy and sociology, together with the contemporary fields of modern psychology and organizational development, and situated squarely in healthcare scenarios, this session highlights the challenges of individualism vs collectivism, and explores how a better understanding of both may lead to renewed perspectives on wellbeing and flourishing.
The session is structured as a series of discussions featuring vignettes and common scenarios to prompt participants to think more deeply about individualism vs collectivism, to discern different perspectives on the “right” thing to do, and to come away with a more holistic conceptualisation of wellbeing. This session is based on a six-course course that has been successfully conducted among various healthcare professionals in NHG and maintains the original dialogic and interactive approach.
We welcome healthcare professionals from all family groups, especially those leading a unit or a department, and who have pondered how a better understanding of human nature can complement healthcare practice and our organizational life.

Track 5A Palliative Care: Animation, Rehabilitation, Collaboration & Digitalisation
Track Synopsis: Palliative medicine strives to provide comfort and support to both patients and their families. As a relatively new specialty, palliative medicine constantly seeks to transform and improve inter-disciplinary collaboration across various care settings.
This however, has been challenged by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has massively disrupted the way healthcare is traditionally delivered. The once nascent field of telehealth for example, has now become mainstream rather than a novel. As a specialty that prides itself on the human touch, the practice of palliative medicine has also had to adapt to the widespread use of video conferencing and video consultation.
In this track, we will focus on two aspects. In the first, we will describe novel collaborations with both the acute surgical team as well as the rehabilitation team within Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. Sharing the stories of real-life patients, we will present our experience with this unique cross-disciplinary model of care.
The second part of the track will focus on how palliative care has had to adopt to the new normal with the use of technology and video-conferencing as a useful adjunct in education, clinical consultation, nursing and even advance care planning. Using real life examples, we will illustrate how technology aids our ongoing partnership in the delivery of end-of-life care for residents in nursing homes.

Track 5B Biologics Revolution In Skin
Track Synopsis: The therapeutic landscape for skin diseases is rapidly changing. We are currently in the middle of a biologics revolution that is providing transformative changes to the way that patients with dermatological conditions are treated. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease affecting up to 20% of the Singapore population, with significant clinical heterogeneity and numerous molecular subtypes. There is a number of new treatment options available for atopic dermatitis patients that have long suffered with chronic, recalcitrant disease symptoms, however knowledge gaps still remain. In this session we will hear about next generation treatment options that target the major cytokines driving skin inflammation and chronic itch that are central nodes of disease pathomechanism. We will also hear about the current status of patient care for atopic dermatitis in Singapore and the latest progress that is being made. Although new therapies are available or on the horizon for atopic dermatitis, additional research is still required especially in understudied ethnicities, rarer phenotypic subtypes and for patients that do not respond to current biologics therapies.
