MEDICAL professionals from Singapore were welcomed at a Glasgow hospital this week as part of a ‘knowledge exchange event’.

Visitors from SingHealth attended the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where they heard from experts at the West of Scotland Innovation Hub who are working on a number of ‘groundbreaking’ projects across Glasgow and the west of Scotland including the use of AI in an emergency situation.

Malcolm Gordon, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde emergency medicine consultant, has had links with the SingHealth team for years and has said that he was 'delighted' to welcome them back to the city.

Glasgow Times:

He said: “This visit has been valuable for all involved, we have been able to share our experiences and learnings from our roles within emergency medicine and gain a new perspective from our colleagues from another part of the world.”

Hosted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, the WoS Innovation Hub works in partnership with the six NHS boards and 14 health and social care partnerships across the region to help design, develop and deliver health and social care improvement.

Following the event, clinical professor Goh Siang Hiong, from SingHealth, said: “We are pleased to be back here in Glasgow because some of us have quite long ties with this city.

“This visit is about learning about best practices in research and innovation and education happening here at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and about looking to build on our ties and further cement our bridges.

“We have seen a lot of areas where we could potentially collaborate and also similarities in the development of emergency medicine, even though we are on opposite sides of the globe.”
