SSHS congratulates the two latest additions to the growing Singapore Hand Surgery community.
Drs Darryl Chew (Singapore General Hospital) and Andre Cheah (National University Hospital) have completed their advanced training in hand surgery. They were able to satisfy the examinations panel headed by Prof Lim Beng Hai and external examiner Dr Jorma Olavi Ryhanen from Finland during their exit exam on 28/8/2010.
They will join the select list of qualified hand specialists in this country, which can be found at the Singapore Medical Council website, and it is to their credit that they have made it here.
The Hand Society wishes them all the best in their careers and looks forward to their contributions to the society, the website and the entire discipline of hand surgery in Singapore and internationally.

The Singapore Society for Hand Surgery invites you to come and participate in discussing the assessment and surgical management of patients with upper limb paralysis from central nervous system disorders. This is an important topic of discussion, as the function and quality of life of many of these patients can certainly be improved by judicious and appropriate surgical procedures, a concept that is grossly under-appreciated in many countries including Singapore.
The TTSH lecture for 31 August 2010 has been cancelled. All ASTs should instead attend the following talk at Singapore General Hospital organized by Dept of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, SGH:
Title : “Lower Limb reconstruction and Pitfalls and Techniques in Microsurgery” Speaker : Prof Chen Hung Chi (Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan) Venue : PGMI Date : Tuesday 31st August 2010 Time : 0730-0830
AST ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY FOR TTSH AND SGH LECTURES (TUES AND WED)

Emeritus Professor Robert Pho Professor Kevin Chung
The RWH Pho lectureship was established to honour Emeritus Professor Robert WH Pho's contribution to the development of orthopaedic, hand, and microsurgery in Singapore and internationally. Held yearly, a prominent international musculoskeletal tumour or hand surgeon is invited to Singapore for several days of teaching and scientific exchange with the various Orthopaedic and Hand departments.
This year we have the honour of inviting Professor Kevin Chung from the University of Michigan Medical School as our RWH Pho Lecturer. Professor Chung is a world renowned Hand Surgeon and NIH funded researcher. His research interests are in the structuring of evidence-based practice and research in hand surgery. He has published over 230 manuscripts, 90 book chapters, and 9 textbooks. Professor Chung developed the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire, which is widely used in this country and around the world for measuring outcomes after hand surgery. He is a director on the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and holds office in several other national Hand and Plastic Surgery Societies. He is the deputy Editor for the Journal of Hand Surgery, the premier hand surgery journal. In the University of Michigan, he is Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs and Associate Director for Global Reach.
The highlight of the programme is the RWH Pho lecture. This year's lecture will be held on 6th July 2010 at 5.30pm at the CRC Auditorium (MD11), National University of Singapore. We believe that this lecture will be of interest to you and your staff, and would like to extend our warmest invitation for you to join us at this lecture and the rest of the programme.
