Who We Are

Established on 19 July 2002, NHG College stands at the forefront of healthcare education and professional development as the learning hub of the NHG Health. As the world around us changes at an unprecedented pace, we are constantly evolving to meet the challenges of today, whilst preparing for the possibilities of tomorrow.

 

Our professionals face increasingly complex patient needs, rapidly advancing technologies, and growing expectations for compassionate, high quality, patient-centred care. We can no longer be just a place for training — we are the launchpad for future-ready healthcare professionals. Our mission is bold and clear: to strengthen the irreplaceable human touch in healthcare, empower our educators with cutting-edge tools, build a culture of uncompromising patient safety, and develop leaders who can strategise and navigate uncertainty and reimagine healthcare for generations to come.

 

Heading into a tomorrow where healthcare will be transformed by data, by science, and by humanity itself, we envision a workforce that combines cutting-edge skills with timeless compassion — one that sees every patient interaction as sacred and is committed to zero preventable harm and continuous improvement.

 

At NHG College, learning transcends traditional training. We're reimagining how healthcare professionals learn, linking education outcomes directly to patient outcomes. Every educational experience is designed for real clinical impact—breaking down silos, building seamless pathways, and ensuring learning leads to better care for our patients and communities.

 

hrough our integrated approach across specialised institutes, we deliver comprehensive learning experiences that span humanistic medicine, faculty development, patient safety and quality excellence, and leadership training. Our programmes combine classroom learning with interactive activities, real-world projects, and cutting-edge technology including AI-enabled education.

 

We are here to help you learn, grow, and lead. Together, we are building a workforce ready for today's challenges and tomorrow's possibilities — shaping the future of healthcare one learner, one leader, one breakthrough at a time.

Our Partners

NHG College connects and collaborates with leading institutions in Singapore and across the world to bring the best-in-class learning to our workforce. This strong network of partners also provide us with the latest global perspectives and expert knowledge for enabling our learning communities.

 

Our Learning Philosophy

NHG College believes in a holistic approach to learning and development of our Professionals for Tomorrow’s Healthcare through an integration of formal, social, experiential and work-based activities.

 

Professionals for Tomorrow’s Healthcare

To guide our education curriculum and train our healthcare workforce in alignment with principles for a 21st century health system, NHG has envisioned a conceptual framework of the attributes of the Professional for Tomorrow’s Healthcare (PTH) – a person who would contribute optimally to healthcare in future. The PTH model, which was modified from a similar model by Sir Michael Barber (UK), reads as follows:

 

 

Inter-Professional Learning

In supporting and facilitating inter-professional collaborations and quality of care delivery, NHG College believes in adopting an inter-professional learning approach in our programmes, where clinicians, administrators and ancillary staff are brought together to learn with and from each other.

 

70:20:10 Approach

The 70:20:10 Model recognise that learning occurs through various modes and means, beyond training in the classroom. Therefore to ensure that learning occurs and applied at the workplace, NHG College believes in adopting 70:20:10 approaches in the design and implementation of our programmes, incorporating elements of experiential, work-based practice, social learning, and formal training.

 

Teach well - Test Well – Treat Well

This tagline encapsulates the aspirations and approaches that our faculty had adopted in developing the Professionals of Tomorrow’s Healthcare. In order to develop our learners to their potential, the work of our faculty will involve facilitating the learning process, assessment that learning has taken place and creating a psychologically safe learning environment.
