Annual Report 2017 Message from Chairman, National St John Council Prior, Priory of Singapore Annual Report 2017 It is my pleasure again to pen my thoughts in this year’s Annual Report 2017. St John Singapore has done well again despite the challenges faced by the inevitable reduced number of cadet members of the school uniform group. Nevertheless, St John Singapore continues to shoulder on its responsibilities in carrying out its core activities; i.e. public first aid duties for community and national events, fund raising, such as walkathon and flag day and the conduct of first aid courses for the public and corporate clients. We have also carried out successfully the biennual Singapore-Malaysia First aid and Nursing Competition 2017. For all these, I would like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the Corps, Brigade, Association and Fellowship for their spirit of volunteerism and dedication in the service of humanity. St John Singapore is adding another feather on its cap by starting a Dementia Day Care Centre at its newly completed annex 3-storey building. The mission to evolve St John Singapore into a more community based organization and to engage in greater community care three years ago has materialized. According to government data, by 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be over 65 years of age. This fast growing population of the elderly in Singapore will see an increase in the number of people with Dementia. St John Singapore has answered the call from the Government to set up a Dementia Day Care Centre, and at the time of this report we are proud to note that the Dementia Centre is fully operational. I am also happy to note that the St John Headquarters building has undergone major renovation works to upgrade the toilets, change the roofing and paint the internal and external walls of the building. The car park has been resurfaced and expanded to be a parade square. The perimeter trees have been trimmed to make it safe for members to have their foot drills and activities on the parade ground. On the regional scene, St John Singapore has assisted in the growth of the Corps in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and Batam, Indonesia. They have increased their membership strength gradually and are actively involved with community work in their respective countries. I wish to salute Mr Andrew Tay (Phnom Penh Corps) and Mr Benny Suwandi (Batam Corps), Presidents of the Corps for their selfless efforts to develop these Corps. In early 2017, St John Ophthalmic Association (Singapore) was set up by ophthalmic surgeons from Singapore Eye Centre, Dr Sunny Shen and Dr Morgan Yang, under the leadership of Dr David Verity, a renown ophthalmic surgeon in London and is currently the Hospitaller of the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. This Association promotes academic and professional discourse amongst ophthalmic surgeons regionally and assists the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. I wish to put on record my sincere thanks to both Dr Sunny and Dr Yang for contributing their time and services to the Association. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the donors who have given financial assistance to St John Singapore, especially those on our Board of Benefactors and those donating to the St John Singapore Dementia Centre Internal Renovation and Resource fund. Finally, my heartiest congratulations to the recipients of the Orders Awards 2017! Thank you! “In the Service of Humanity” Dr Teh Peng Hooi KStJ Chairman, National St John Council Prior, Priory of Singapore 1 VISION, MISSION, MOTTOS & VALUES Annual Report 2017 OUR VISION To be a leading humanitarian and charitable organisation, and to serve humanity by relieving pain and suffering.

Chairman mentioned that in overall it was a productive year since last AGM 2016. 2.1.1 Local Scene a) The Building Extension: It is on track and the TOP is expected to be in August this Info year. Once the TOP is approved, the internal renovation works can start, to meet the requirement of Dementia Centre. b) Brigade: While this department is doing well, there is room for improvement. The Prof. Goh council is concerned that membership is dropping especially the uniform group in the schools. There is a need to improve the membership. Chairman suggested forming corps in private schools and institutions or even in polytechnics. The Brigade is requested to look into this issue seriously. c) Association: There is concern over course revenue dropping due to competition. Dr Nathan Chairman noted that there is stagnation in the number of courses offered. It was previously brought up that they should start first aid for toddler/infant caregivers which is very lucrative in other countries. Chairman also suggested that first aid in mental health is also a popular course undertaken by other countries. We should also look into starting this new course and that other priories are willing to assist. d) Fellowship: They are also doing well in getting donations and commended Mr Foo Info and his committee on this. e) Publication: Chairman thank Mr Khoo Teck Kim on his good work in producing the Info three monthly newsletter.

  • The Emerging Role of Telehealth in a New Zealand Ambulance Service
    Business Research Project: The emerging role of telehealth in a New Zealand ambulance service Master of Business Administration (MBA) Victoria University of Wellington October 2014 Words: 11,700 Jared Stevenson (300061961) Clinical Development Manager and Paramedic, St John EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Telehealth systems – using ICT to manage health from a distance – have been developing for decades, including within the ambulance sector. The author undertook this research to better understand how telehealth could improve patient outcomes, improve effectiveness, or create efficiencies for the St John ambulance service. To achieve this, current literature was reviewed and a small group of experts were interviewed whose experience lies in either the ambulance service or the health sector. Key recommendations are described below: • It is of strategic importance to design ambulance telehealth systems with interoperability and interconnectivity – this will maximise health sector integration and governmental support. • Telehealth solutions should be based on simple, well-established, easy to use, and ubiquitous technologies. This reduces fear, limits technical challenges, enables technology adoption, and improves chances of success. Of all available technologies, video-calling provides the most opportunity at present. • Consistent with the 111 Clinical Hub model, St John should centralise specialists to provide telehealth support. This approach is cost effective as only a small number of specialists is required. It also supports effective clinical decision-making as this group routinely make complex decisions. • It is realistic for St John to integrate video-calling as a telehealth solution into the 111 Clinical Hub. As a patient-to-clinician tool, 111 Clinical Hub staff could use video connections to call back low acuity patients to perform a secondary triage.

  • A Structured Approach for Integrated Emergency Management Planning and Response for Pre-Declaration Emergencies
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. A STRUCTURED APPROACH FOR INTEGRATED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND RESPONSE FOR PRE- DECLARATION EMERGENCIES A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Emergency Management 130. 899 Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Christopher Taylor Raine 2006 Abstract This thesis study arose from the need to develop a disaster plan for St John Southern Region. To facilitate this, a multiagency approach began in 1999 with all the emergency services, local authorities, regional councils, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management to prepare a predeclaration CDEM integrated response plan to link between routine emergencies and CDEM declarations. This planning process continues currently in 2006 under the guise of the Otago Southland Emergency Planning Group (OSEPG). Books, periodicals, emergency management articles sourced from both publishers, occurred from Massey University, the Police College Emergency Management collection and also Internet searches. The review was split between New Zealand authors and international authors. The review sought comparisons between integrated emergency management planning, interagency training considerations, response issues and incident management systems used to manage emergencies. These reviews allowed a comparison to research findings generated by this thesis. This thesis aims to develop policies to encourage integrated planning and response for pre- declaration events. It also aims to demonstrate a process to integrate the response of diverse agencies and compares the Coordinated Incident Management System with the Otago Southland Emergency Planning Group planning and response arrangements.
