About Us

About Us

The Centre for Health Professionals Training supports training of the future healthcare workforce through continual learning and skills upgrading for health professionals who provide care across the healthcare continuum.


The Centre for Health Professionals Training was established in 2017 as one of the six Centres  under the National University Health System.

Mr Dennie Hsu was the inaugural Centre Director who convened different work streams that focused on different staff groups. With his extensive knowledge and experience in Allied Health professions, the Expert Series was conceived, where domain experts were invited to develop niche, skills-based programmes that focused on knowledge and skills transfer from these experts to the local Allied Health Professionals.

His team also focused on developing programmes to train a future-ready healthcare workforce, looking at skillsets that will ensure the healthcare workforce remains relevant in this era of disruptive innovation and transform the way healthcare is delivered. 


The current team comprises the following who are highly committed to healthcare professional education and training.

  • Ms Eng Jia Yen, Centre Director      
  • Ms Shirlyn Tan, Assistant Manager
