Singapore’s NUH launches global fellows alliance for innovative healthcare collab

More than 50 fellows are returning to Singapore for the alliance.

A Global Fellows Alliance was launched to allow clinicians to engage with one another and collaborate on innovative healthcare solutions.

In a statement, National University Hospital said its alliance will offer educational activities, professional development, and networking opportunities.

The key features are:

Networking opportunities: Connect, collaborate, and exchange expertise within a global network. The programme will facilitate connections with healthcare professionals from diverse backgrounds, creating an extensive network of clinicians who can share knowledge and best practices.

Professional development: Tailored workshops, training and coaching for continual growth. These will cover a wide range of medical disciplines.

Extensive resources: Members can stay updated with the latest in medicine through access to comprehensive resources.

A community of leaders: Collaborate on research and drive meaningful and groundbreaking improvements in healthcare, across communities.

Since 2000, 900 clinical fellows and clinicians have passed through NUH to gain exposure to Singapore’s healthcare industry and hone their skills in various clinical specialities through the fellowship scheme. The clinicians are from different markets such as Myanmar and Bangladesh, Oman, Italy and Switzerland.

On 19 October, more than 50 of these fellows returned to Singapore for the official launch of the Global Fellows Alliance.

For more than two decades, NUH trained an average of about 50 clinical fellows every year as part of its clinical fellowship scheme. These clinical fellows are attached to NUH for about six to 12 months, across specialties that span Hand & Reconstructive Microsurgery, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Organ Transplantation, Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Neurology, amongst others.
