Nurturing Our Teams

Upskilling Our Nurses

Our inpatient Registered Nurses were trained in performing care of patients with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line intrathecal catheter and Continuous Ambulatory Delivery Device (CADD) pump. Furthermore, 95% of inpatient nurses have attended the in-house Basic Ostomy educational workshop. These trainings equip our nurses with the skills to treat patients with differing conditions.

In our commitment to keep pace with advanced clinical innovations, some inpatient nurses also received training to utilise wearable device “Respiree” to detect patients’ respiratory rate virtually.

Lee Jing Ru

Advanced Practice Nurse Lee Jing Ru has successfully completed her Collaborative Prescribing Programme in 2023. The programme trains Advanced Practice Nurses and pharmacists to prescribe under Collaborative Practice Agreements with medical practitioners.

In addition to her existing duties, she is now able to assess patients, make decisions on treatments, prescribe medication as well as conduct patient education and monitoring.

So don’t be surprised to see nurses with stethoscopes around our wards!
