​The main challenge I face is caring for patients with different needs, for example the elderly with dementia, the wheelchair

“I belong to the pioneer intake of the Geriatric Special Care Dentistry Clinic (GSDC), so I wish to set a good example for my juniors by displaying professionalism and sharing my job passion. Then they can learn how to care for this unique group of patients.   The main challenge I face is caring for patients with different needs, for example the elderly with dementia, the wheelchair and bed bound and special needs patients.   Besides learning how to communicate with them, I also need to constantly watch out for patients who are at risk of falls.”
