Community Health Posts (CHP)


Sengkang General Hospital (SKH) has launched its Community Health Posts (CHP) in the Northeast region of Singapore since 2020 and mainly serves two precincts: Sengkang and Punggol.


Services provided

As part of the HealthierSG strategy, the Community Nurses and Well-Being Coordinators (WBCs) are key team players to support residents such that they stay well and healthy within the community.

SKH community nurses and WBCs provide the consultation and services through either the Community Health Posts (refer to locations below), or Home Visits for seniors who are homebound. As we improve with digitalisation, we have also embarked on video-consultations with seniors as alternative mode of care delivery with the support of SKH volunteers. This allows the continuity of care for seniors, at their preferred place and time of convenience.  

 

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Seniors aged 60 years old and above;
  • Have multiple chronic diseases (e.g. high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, chronic heart failure, chronic lung diseases or stroke) and need help to manage their medical conditions; and
  • Singapore citizens or permanent residents

Pre-Frail and Frail seniors with chronic conditions are eligible to consult the community nurses and the following services will be performed depending on seniors' needs:

  • Health and geriatric assessment;
  • Health coaching;
  • Chronic diseases monitoring and education;
  • Medication education and management;
  • Advanced Care Planning initiation and discussion;
  • Care coordination.

Apart from the above services, the programme also provides regular health talks at the selected SACs, CCs and RCs. 
For more information, please find the Community Nursing Flyer for reference.

Events


HCA Oasis @ Outram Day Hospice Christmas Party

The Community Nursing team spread the festive cheer with a Christmas party for patients at HCA's Oasis@Outram Day Hospice on 15th December 2022. They kept the patients engaged and spirits high with games and sing-along sessions led by external carolers. As helping hands, 19 nurse volunteers helped to care for the patients by wheeling them around, and serving them lunch and ice-cream. The celebrations wrapped up with a lucky draw session and patients walk away with a present each in hand. The presence of our nurse volunteers had ultimately made them feel joy at the final phase of their lives – a compliment by the patients worth reminiscing.



Chong Hua Tong Falls and Cancer Screening Event

On 17th November 2022, 32 nurses spent their non-working hours volunteering at Chong Hua Tong (Rivervale), assisting the Community Nursing team with different types of screening: basic falls, cognitive, and cancer (breast, cervical and colorectal). They have received an overwhelming response of 80 residents being screened and recruited under the Community Health Posts (CHP) which has exceeded their expected turnout rate of 50. If you are interested to find out more, the CHP at Chong Hua Tong is held weekly, every Monday from 9 am to 1 pm.
