In support of the campaign, let’s remind everyone that abuse and harassment take time and attention away from caring for your loved ones. Together, we can ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our healthcare workers.
A single act of speaking up can make a difference.
With abuse becoming increasingly rampant across our healthcare institutions, everyone has a part to play to protect our healthcare workers. Nobody goes to a healthcare institution with the intention to abuse. Every one of us can play a part in ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all.
Even as bystanders, your intervention and support in the face of abuse is important. If you see abuse or harassment, don't ignore it!
---
This campaign is part of the efforts of the Tripartite Workgroup for the Prevention of Abuse and Harassment’s (TWG). TWG was established to spearhead a coordinated national effort to prevent the abuse and harassment of healthcare workers in the public, private, and community care sectors in Singapore.

Treatment for Myasthenia Gravis (MG) aims to manage symptoms and improve muscle strength. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and the individual needs of the patient.
Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition, adjust treatments, and manage any side effects. With proper treatment, symptoms of MG can be relieved and individuals can function normally.

Congratulations to our award-winning staff, Assoc Prof Tay Kay Yaw, Senior Consultant & Head Neurology, NNI @ Woodlands Health and Halimatul Sa'adiah Bte Idris, Senior Patient Service Associate Executive, Neuroscience Specialist Outpatient Clinic (NSOC).
Assoc Prof Tay received the GCEO Excellence Award 2024 Outstanding Clinician Award for his significant contributions to the field of neurology in clinical practice and medical education, for his community outreach work related to Parkinson's disease and his leadership roles. Known for going the extra mile for his patients and his holistic approach to patient care, Assoc Prof Tay firmly believes in SingHealth' motto - Patients. At the heart of all we do.
Meanwhile Halimatul received the GCEO Excellence Award 2024 Outstanding Administrative & Ancillary Staff Award. When NNI@TTSH transitioned to the Next Generation Electronic Medical Records (NGEMR) system, Halimatul developed the training curriculum for her colleagues and conducted training to ensure all our clinic PSAs were ready to use the new system once it went 'live'. Known for her caring attitude to patients and colleagues, Halimatul embraces her regular duties while championing improvement projects for NSOC.
And last but by no meams least, one of our senior consultants, known for her clinical expertise and guidance of neurology senior residents, colleagues, nurses and allied health professionals, received the SingHealth Excellence Award 2024 Distinguished Clinician Mentor Award.
Out of respect for her wishes, we are not sharing her name and photo on our social media accounts, but many of her mentees have gone on to leadership positions within NNI and SingHealth, and to this day, she continues to juggle a heavy clinical load with mentoring, training and research.

What is the link between hypertension, or high blood pressure, and neurological conditions?
🧠 Stroke
Hypertension is a leading risk factor for stroke, which occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to damage or death of brain tissue.
🧠 Vascular dementia
Stroke and chronic hypertension can damage blood vessels in the brain, increasing the risk of vascular dementia, a decline in thinking abilities (cognitive function) due to impaired blood flow to the brain.
🧠 Intracerebral haemorrhage
Chronic hypertension can weaken blood vessel walls in the brain, increasing the risk of blood vessels rupturing causing bleeding into the brain tissue.
It’s important to learn how to manage high blood pressure. Watch this space for tips on how to prevent hypertension!
