NUS Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies (NUS Nursing) at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine introduced Singapore’s first Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programme to prepare nurses for leadership roles amid rising healthcare demands in an ageing society. The Centre also launched three new Master’s programmes in community health, critical care and infection control as it marked its 20th anniversary.
Prof Liaw Sok Ying, Head, NUS Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies (NUS Nursing) at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, explained that the new programmes aimed to attract, retain and elevate the nursing profession as nurses increasingly assumed leadership not only in management but also clinical specialisations. One of the students in the DNP programme, Ms Katherine Leong, Deputy Director of Nursing at National University Hospital and Nursing Lead at Tengah General and Community Hospital, highlighted the programme’s relevance in advancing her learning and its part-time flexibility.
