83 National University Centre for Organ Transplantation (NUCOT) The National University Centre for Organ Transplantation (NUCOT) is a one-stop centre dedicated to the care of patients undergoing kidney, liver and pancreas transplants. Established in 2008 under the National University Hospital (NUH), NUCOT brings together an expert team of doctors including transplant physicians, surgeons, intensivists, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, all working together to provide expert care for organ transplant recipients and donors. NUCOT Doctors from the National University of Singapore and the NUH have had a long tradition of pioneering advances in transplant medicine and surgery in Singapore. The first kidney transplant in Singapore was performed by a team of surgeons from the National University of Singapore Surgical Unit. The first liver transplant and first simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant in Singapore were both performed at the NUH. Currently, more than half of all solid organ transplants performed at restructured hospitals in Singapore are performed at NUCOT. NUCOT is also a major referral centre for complex tertiary care, with patients being referred from all hospitals in Singapore and from overseas centres. NUCOT is the only transplant centre in Singapore which hosts both paediatric and adult organ transplant services under one roof. In addition to its clinical services, NUCOT is a key driver for training and research in transplantation. It is accredited by the International Society of Nephrology for training in kidney transplantation and hosts fellows from throughout Asia for specialty training in both kidney and liver transplantation. Together with its initiatives in organ transplantation research, NUCOT is at the forefront of advancing the care of organ failure patients in Singapore and beyond. 81

137 Specialist Clinical Department - Emergency Medicine Our Emergency Medicine Department (EMD) is staffed by 27 registered emergency specialists with a common vision: To develop a world-class department which offers a high tertiary level of clinical service in an environment of excellent teaching and training, vibrant research and healthy work-life balance. Our specialists are engaged in a number of specialised and multidisciplinary research efforts and clinical trials, reflecting our broad array of scientific interests. Each specialist has areas of interest and had further training in: emergency cardiac care, disaster medicine, observational medicine, trauma, toxicology. Other areas of interest include critical care, risk management, health processes, prehospital care and geriatric emergency care. The department prides in practising evidence-based medicine through clinical protocols that culminated in the writing of a book entitled Guide to the Essentials in Emergency Medicine published by McGraw-Hill. The first edition was released in 2004 and sold more than 15,000 copies through nine reprints. The second, current edition, which was published in 2014, has sold approximately 10,000 copies so far, and has reached the shores of countries such as Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Majority of the faculty members of EMD are trained facilitators of evidence-based medicine practice and have contributed actively in the development of evidence based medicine culture in the hospital. Being affiliated with Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, the department plays an active role in the education of medical students. We coordinate the rotation of medical students amongst the emergency departments in Singapore. The department also supports the Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training programmes for the hospital. The department consists of a group of physicians with a strong passion for teaching. Through the development of a well-planned training programme, we have achieved consistent results in the post graduate education of future emergency physicians. Being a tertiary hospital with a good variety of clinical cases, the NUH is popular amongst the trainees of Emergency Medicine. A&E 135
