Dr Goh does care consolidation for patients with dementia or geriatric psychiatric illnesses and chronic medical conditions. She obtained the Master of Medicine (Family Medicine) in 1996 and has many years of experience working with elderly patients with complex care needs. Additional post-graduate diplomas in Geriatric Medicine and Mental Health provide her with a unique triangulation of skill sets to manage the multiple chronic conditions of patients by one primary doctor.
Additionally, Dr Goh works with GP partners for shared-care of persons with dementia and geriatric patients with psychiatric illnesses. With the explosion of patients living with multiple co-morbidities coupled with psychosocial issues, Dr Goh is a strong advocate for holistic person-centred care provided by one primary doctor. To this end, she strives to mentor young doctors towards developing expertise in complex care.
Dr Goh is actively involved in training of medical students, doctors, nurses and allied health professionals. She has had many invitations to give lectures to various community partners and for SMA CMEP webinars. She has also designed workshops for dementia caregivers and conducts these workshops regularly to empower persons with dementia and their caregivers.
