The Challenges:
- Lead the development and implementation of a sustainable patient education and research roadmap, community engagement framework and toolkit that would help enhance and elevate the branding and reputation of the Centre. This includes preparation and presentation of proposals for the approval of Senior Management and other relevant meeting platforms and ensure timely completion of all projects and reporting of outcomes.
- Drive strategic projects and initiatives pertaining to taking on a leadership role in building and sustaining new and existing community partnerships to drive activation within the Centre. Develop and implement a conducive framework and environment for individuals to take charge of their own health and to care for the health of others in the community through a well-developed patient education framework.
- Build and sustain community partnerships in the areas of training volunteers and co-creating a community of practice in driving health literacy efforts. Create the means, framework, platforms and environment for NHG residents to take charge of their own health and to go beyond self-care to serving the community.
- Create and build a vibrant marketplace by bringing together volunteers and partners from different organisations to network, share experiences and best practices and exchange ideas and bond with one another. This diversity allows NHG to have fresh perspectives for better decision making, risk management and a more robust corporate governance.
- Build communities of activated and health literate volunteers with shared interests. Ideas garnered from learning platforms could go towards research or to improve the framework in developing and sustaining a community of Patient Education Ambassadors.
- Identify and leverage potential funding programmes and partners as seed funding for implementation of pilot health literacy programmes.
- Identify appropriate research tools, partners and methodologies such as the adoption of validated tools and digital platforms, which enables the patients to assess their personal activation levels and equip them with the resources, knowledge and support to increase activation levels through experiential learning.
