Department of Rehabilitation Medicine

We have the largest rehabilitation facility in Singapore, helping people with disabilities achieve maximal functional independence.

Comprising a multi-disciplinary team of specialist physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and language therapists, psychologists, nurses, medical social workers and dieticians, we treat a full range of complex rehabilitation conditions and provide comprehensive rehabilitation programmes.

Our rehabilitation programmes are physician-led and team-based to meet specific physical, cognitive and emotional needs.

Progress is constantly reviewed. The carer/family member is encouraged to be an active participant in the rehabilitation process.

How you can help:

  • As a patient, it helps to maintain a positive attitude
  • Participate actively in all your therapy sessions, build rapport with members of the rehabilitation team
  • Report any discomfort and lack of wellbeing so that we can render medical attention early
  • Be prepared to be independent within the safety limits set by the staff that is taking care of you

How your family can help:

  • Have a positive attitude and participate actively in the patient’s progress, to help them be as independent as possible in future
  • Meet the rehab team as soon as possible after admission, to handle administrative matters and share relevant information about the patient, his family and their social and financial background
  • Decide how and where the patient will be cared for after discharge, so that we can arrange for appropriate caregiver training if necessary
  • Participate actively in caregiver training as the skills taught are practical and will help boost your confidence in managing your loved one at home
  • Encourage the patient and understand his moods and fears
