HMDP has sent many of our doctors, nurses and health science professionals on skills attachments in renowned overseas training centres. It is essential that these acquired knowledge and skills be shared within the cluster and be translated into work practices where relevant to elevate the standard of medical practice and patient care in the cluster. With these objectives, the Singhealth HMDP Update was held on 25 September 2004 where 4 of our awardees shared their learning experiences.
