Synergising care through Continuing Medical Education (CME)

A gateway for medical professionals to keep pace with the latest clinical updates.

PULSE Issue 43 | July 2024

Healthcare is a constantly evolving field, where new technical advances, techniques and cutting-edge treatments promise to revolutionise the future of patient care.

To share crucial knowledge and insights in the field of cardiology, and cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, specialists from the National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) have come together to organise Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions to support healthcare counterparts in the primary care settings – including General Practitioners (GPs), polyclinic doctors and nurses – in staying updated on the latest disease management knowledge for enhanced patient care, and to equip them in making specialist referrals for their patients' follow-up treatment.

Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions consists of educational activities that serve to:

  • Enhance the knowledge, skills and professional performance of a doctor

CMEs are stipulated by the Singapore Medical Council to be compulsory for doctors in Singapore to:

  • Ensure that all doctors are kept updated on changes in medicine and in areas relevant to their own particular practice

At the core of NUHCS’ educational commitment lies a dedication to nurturing well-rounded healthcare professionals. From in-depth explorations of Electrocardiogram1 (ECG) interpretations to comprehensive discussions on the management of Superficial and Deep Venous Disorders2, every aspect of cardiovascular care is tailored to equip primary care doctors with the knowledge to keep them well-updated in the evolving medical field.

Calling All Primary Care Colleagues & Healthcare Professionals!
