With our care delivery model now focused within the community, General Practitioners (GPs) play an essential role in managing the population's health and social care needs holistically. SingHealth works with primary care centres around fostering private-public partnerships and empowering GPs to provide person-centred and place-based care.

 

SingHealth values each and every collaboration opportunity and aims to build strong and long-lasting relationships that benefit all our GP partners involved. To strengthen private-public partnerships and facilitate care delivery, SingHealth engages GPs using three levels of engagements at the strategic leadership level, local leadership level, as well as at the ground level.

 

GP partners are strongly supported by SingHealth through these four key pillars of support (i.e., the 4 Cs) – Community Care Resources, Capability Development, Communication Support and Care Services Support. The goal of SingHealth is to ensure that GPs are well-equipped with the information and resources, capability, communication platforms and clinical services to provide their patients the person-centred and place-based care based on their needs.


SingHealth Healthier SG Teams are community care teams comprising Community Nurses and Wellbeing Coordinators, who work closely with the Primary Care Providers and Community Care Providers to provide residents with place-based integrated care and empower residents to achieve their health goals and overall wellbeing.​

GPFirst Programme encourages residents with mild to moderate medical conditions to visit their General Practitioners (GPs) first, rather than going directly to the Emergency Department (ED). This programme is open to GP clinics within the regions of participating acute hospitals or Urgent Care Centres (UCC).

PaedsENGAGE Programme is similar to GPFirst, where hospitals partner GPs in providing right siting of care for mild and moderate paediatric conditions. This will allow the team at the Children's Emergency to focus on paediatric patients with more critical and life-threatening conditions.

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are helmed by experienced nurses and allied health professionals who provide health education, dietetic services, physiotherapy, diabetic retinopathy photography and diabetic foot screening. SingHealth currently operates two CHCs in Tiong Bahru and Tampines to support GPs in managing patients with chronic conditions.
