Meet Run Qi and Yi Ling, two of our Hybrid Nurse Clinician-Scientists, who spend half of the week in their respective wards, and the other half honing their areas of interest - conducting research studies to address gaps within the nursing profession.

At TTSH, our nurses have the opportunity to take on hybrid roles to pursue their passion and value-add to the nursing profession. These areas include research, innovation, informatics, business strategy and more.

𝕋𝕠𝕕𝕒𝕪 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕋𝕠𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕣𝕠𝕨: Humanising ICU care in our SICU

In the ICU, waking up can feel overwhelming — machines, alarms and unfamiliar surroundings. Our Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) team brings early Occupational Therapy right to the bedside, using familiar photos, music and routines to help patients stay grounded and connected during critical moments.

Alongside this, Singapore’s first SICU Befriender Programme trains volunteers to offer presence, conversation and gentle engagement when families can’t be close. Together, our clinicians, therapists and volunteers create an environment where patients feel safe, supported and never alone in their recovery.

💛Because even in critical care, healing begins with connection.

Being a global citizen has always been part of TTSH’s ethos.

The 3.5 year Singapore–Vietnam THAN Project is one such initiative that advances healthcare standards for a broader global community. In collaboration with the Singapore International Foundation (SIF), a group of skilled Nephrologists and Senior Nurses from TTSH’s Department of Renal Medicine have been volunteering their time in Vietnam to upskill healthcare professionals at Cho Ray Hospital (Bệnh viện Chợ Rẫy) and other hospitals across the country.

With the recent donation of S$250,000 by Mapletree Investments for the newly launched Mapletree Community Impact Programme with SIF, we are grateful for the shared commitment and extended support which enables skilled volunteerism and professional exchange for more communities in need.

Dr Yeo See Cheng, Singapore International Volunteers (SIV) Team Lead and Head & Senior Consultant at TTSH’s Department of Renal Medicine, said, “Working with healthcare professionals in Vietnam has been a deeply rewarding and enriching experience. What makes the initiative in Vietnam especially impactful is the ability to design training that is responsive to on-the-ground realities."

"With structured support through the Mapletree Community Impact Programme, we will be able to co-develop practical, context-specific solutions that can lead to more sustainable improvements in nephrology care. Warm friendships were also forged in this very fulfilling journey”.

Well done to the TTSH SIV team!
