Providing training opportunities is nothing new to Kwong Wai Shiu and training has always been at the heart of what we do at KWSH to ensure the best level of care possible for the patients and the elderly. Back in year 2015, during our 105th anniversary celebration, we had shared our development plans with the guest of honour, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong. Our plans had included internal training for staff as our manpower was due to gradually increase to double its original strength. With his foresight, Minister Gan had suggested the Hospital should also open up our training to benefit the rest of the community care sector. The minister’s comments inspired us and the idea of having a community training institute was born.

To meet your expanded mandate, the Kwong Wai Shiu leadership team has proactively formed partnerships with tertiary institutions, other healthcare service providers, as well as IAL. Given IAL’s mandate to lead and advocate best practices and innovations in adult learning, today’s MOU signing is most timely. IAL can partner Kwong Wai Shiu hospital to test-bed and refine blended learning innovations, which can then be proliferated through the CTI to benefit the rest of the ILTC sector and their partners in the healthcare eco-system.

SIT is glad to have a strong partner in KWSH !
