A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
The Centre forms a unique platform for the collaborative
work of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare
professionals to meet patient needs throughout their
journey in SingHealth.
Our team of specialists is experienced in the
assessment and management of complex head and
neck diseases and tumours. They work closely with
nurses and allied health professionals to achieve
the best outcomes for our patients in the pursuit
of comprehensive oncological resection, aesthetic
reconstruction and functional rehabilitation.
Cases are discussed at a multidisciplinary tumour
board comprising surgeons, medical oncologists,
radiation oncologists, pathologists and other allied
health professionals.
In the care of our patients, we view them as well as
their family members as part of the team. At our
combined nursing and allied health clinic, the team
provides education, counselling and support to
patients and their family in the treatment journey.
