Additional Information
The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) trains doctors who put patients at the centre of their exemplary care. The School, which offers both undergraduate and graduate programmes, is named after local philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian. Established in 2010 by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in partnership with Imperial College London, LKCMedicine aims to be a model for innovative medical education and a centre for transformative research. The School's primary clinical partner is the National Healthcare Group, a leader in public healthcare recognised for the quality of its medical expertise, facilities and teaching. The School is transitioning to an NTU medical school ahead of the 2028 successful conclusion of the NTU-Imperial partnership to set up a Joint Medical School. In August 2024, we welcomed our first intake of the NTU MBBS programme, that has been recently enhanced to include themes like precision medicine and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with an expanded scope in the medical humanities. Graduates from the five-year undergraduate medical degree programme will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, with an emphasis on technology, data science and the humanities.
The Office of Patient Engagement (OPEN) brings patient and public voices into medical research and education in LKCMedicine. OPEN works with researchers and educators to integrate patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) into their work, connecting them to patients and the community. As the Assistant Manager/Senior Executive, Patient and Public Involvement, you will be part of the team to grow patient and public involvement (PPI) for medical research. You will be supporting a collaborative project to develop a national guidance document on patient and public involvement (PPI) in medical research and clinical trials in Singapore. In addition, you will be working on PPI in precision medicine and set up of a lived experience partner registry. You will also be developing strong partnerships with stakeholders in the medical research and healthcare eco-system and to organise events and develop resources towards the development and dissemination of the PPI guidance document.
We are looking for a dynamic individual who has a strong interest in patient and community involvement in research and healthcare and has excellent communication and organisational skills, to build PPI capability.
