What if shaping one nurse could transform countless lives? 🫶

For Kavitha, Clinical Lead for Wound Care, the most rewarding moments are seeing nurses confidently apply what they have learned in practice.

She mentors nurses while driving better patient outcomes. To her, care goes beyond treatment—it is about comfort, dignity, and the whole person.

Advancing the future of palliative care—together 👍

As SLH continues its journey to become a palliative-care-ready hospital, our multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, and allied health and pharmacy professionals attended the Singapore Palliative Care Conference to learn, share, and advance best practices in end-of-life care.

We are proud to have two projects featured as conference abstracts, contributing to the growing body of palliative care knowledge:

🔹 The Biopsychosocial-Spiritual Model in End-of-Life Care for Persons with Intellectual Disability (PWID) — exploring more holistic palliative care for persons with intellectual disability through a team’s experience caring for a patient with Down syndrome.

🔹 Achieving a Good Death for the Dying in SLH — demonstrating how structured care pathways and interdisciplinary education improved end-of-life outcomes, guided by standards shaped through literature reviews, national palliative care benchmarks, and team discussions involving a caregiver.

Our Medical Director, Dr Andrew Samson, also joined a panel discussion on “Palliative Care as Value Based Primary Care”, sharing how SLH’s palliative ecosystem enables timely, person-centred, and goal-concordant care. By integrating palliative principles earlier in primary care, patients benefit from better continuity and support aligned with their values and priorities throughout their illness.

As healthcare needs evolve, SLH remains committed to advancing holistic palliative care that honours dignity and supports patients and families through every stage of the journey—from early identification and care planning to end-of-life support in the wards and at home.

The air was filled with laughter, joy, and connection, reminding us of the power of music to uplift and support wellbeing. Here’s to the continued impact of music therapy in enriching lives!

Some quiet, meaningful moments from our recent patient devotion for Easter 🕊️

In this season of hope and renewal, we are reminded that even in life’s most difficult moments, there is always light to be found.

Through song, prayer and reflection, our patients experienced a time of peace and encouragement, made possible by our dedicated Chaplaincy team. Week by week, they journey alongside patients, offering care that nurtures not just the body, but the heart and spirit too.

Did you know? Parkinson’s disease arises when nerve cells in the brain gradually degenerate, leading to reduced dopamine levels which impacts movement control and function. Recognising warning signs and seeking help early can make a big difference in helping individuals maintain their independence.

Our Parkinson’s group programme combines physiotherapy and music therapy to support persons living with Parkinson’s Disease. Through guided, evidence-based exercises, patients build strength, balance, and flexibility in a safe and uplifting environment.

This World Parkinson’s Day, we stand alongside persons living with Parkinson’s Disease — honouring their strength and resilience every step of the way. 💙
