How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

[boydoc356]

any IMG out there gotten any information about full reg recently please share

Is there a huge difference between the work culture, workload (including clinical and admin work), salary, and patient demographics of different polyclinics of different clusters? (E.g nup vs nhgp vs shp)

Current a mmed FP, thinking of changing cluster as I am moving house to the east (currently living in west) in a few months (after marriage). I am actually quite comfortable with my current ops and bosses (worked there for 3+ years, through the COVID pandemic), just that location will be really far (slightly more than 1hr by public transport) after I move house. (And if I do move to shp, it will be a completely different IT system)

Not sure if it is worth it to move, and if other clusters will accept FP who are not trained in their clusters..

definitely can join. but each ops is different.
How is workload at nup? single/shared q? numbers a day?
remember shp is single queue and allow walk in, numbers prob a lot higher than your side.
but if u can clear fast fast 5 mins can go home 430.
oh ya bonus different also, not sure if nup pays more than here.

Op here, shared queue for each individual teamlet (usually 2 doctors) acute can be shared between 3-4 Drs.
I see between 35 pts on a good day to 45 pts on a busy day. (There was a day when I hit 52 pts but that was a one off as one of the Drs had to take urgent leave mid morning, so all his pts had to be redistributed)
Not sure about shp workload

You still need to get your hod to write a testimonial. that's the key to full reg.
