With Singapore’s greying population, multi-disciplinary teams must now collaborate and dialogue even more closely to address ageing-related matters. MWS Home Care & Home Hospice is grateful to be part of these efforts as our leaders weighed in on palliative care in nursing homes at the 8th Singapore Palliative Care Conference 2023 held on 1-2 July.

“MWS’ integrated Home Care and Home Hospice service is the first-of-its-kind in Singapore, where both non-hospice and hospice patients are served by one multi-disciplinary team,” said Dr Dennis Chia (Acting Cluster Director, Community Eldercare Services and Deputy Director, MWS Home Care & Home Hospice and Senior Care Centre). 

“This ensures a seamless transition of care for frail patients, reducing the risk of sub-optimal care experiences and health outcomes that can result from fragmented care.”
