PaedsENGAGE (ENGagement And GP Empowerment)

Synonym(s):

PaedsENGAGE is a pilot programme led by KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) and National University Hospital (NUH). PaedsENGAGE partners General Practitioners (GPs) in the private sector in providing right-siting of care for mild and moderate paediatric conditions across Singapore. This will allow our team at the Children’s Emergency to focus on patients with critical and life-threatening conditions.

GPs will undergo an educational training programme to equip them with the skills and knowledge to manage common conditions in children such as:

  • Fever
  • Cough and/or Runny nose
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Rash
  • Simple injuries

Following the completion of this training programme, they will be certified as PaedsENGAGE GP Partners.
