The GPFirst programme encourages people with non-urgent conditions to first seek treatment with a General Practitioner (GP) for more timely medical treatment rather than at the acute hospital’s Accident & Emergency Department (A&E). This also enables emergency departments to focus on more urgent cases requiring medical attention.

How GPFirst works

Patients who are referred to TTSH Emergency Department (ED) by a participating GP clinic will accorded higher priority over non-emergency cases when they arrive at the A&E. In addition, they will receive a $50 subsidy on the prevailing A&E attendance fee. The TTSH GPFirst programme is open to GP clinics in the Central Region (Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Geylang, Hougang, Novena-Kallang, Serangoon, Toa Payoh). If you are interested, please email us at gp@ttsh.com.sg to be sign up!


Launched in April 2014, TTSH Community Right Siting Programme (CRiSP) is an initiative where stable patients from the Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOCs) are discharged and followed-up by our General Practitioner (GP) partners.

Patients under CRiSP enjoy convenience and time-savings when their stabilised conditions are managed by our GP partners in the community, instead of making a trip down to the SOC. This also helps foster a closer doctor-family relationship.

This initiative has expanded beyond the 20 conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP). At present, patients with the following stabilised chronic conditions may be discharged to our GP partners under CRISP:
