PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Welcome to the Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Singapore. We are the official society that represents the entire community of Otolaryngologists (ENT surgeons) in Singapore. With over 60 years of history as a fraternity of ENT surgeons in Singapore, we are one of the oldest surgical specialities locally.
It is our aspiration to best represent and foster greater interaction within this dynamic community. Through the years, many sub specialities have developed within the field of Otolaryngology (ENT), namely: Otology (Ear Surgery), Rhinology (Nose and Sinus Surgery), Laryngology (Voice and Throat Surgery), Head and Neck Surgery, Sleep Apnea Surgery and Medicine, Paediatric Otolaryngology and Facialplastic Surgery.
As a diverse group practicing in the numerous public and private hospitals, the society hopes to be a friendly and warm platform for us to meet and also to advocate for advances in the practice of our speciality here in Singapore. We believe by doing so, we will bring a higher standard of ENT care to our patients.
We organize a whole gamut of activities throughout the year. These include frequent CME (Continuing Medical Education) Dinner talks by local and specially invited international speakers for our own ENT surgeons. In turn, we regularly conduct medical talks for General Practicioners and other doctors and specialists on ENT topics. We usually run an Annual Scientific Meeting in March of every year where we meet to discuss the state of the craft along various subspeciality themes.
We also organize subspecialty congresses, the last being the ASEAN Academy of Neuro-Otology and Audiology Congress in November 2016. We have also run combined Scientific Congresses with other ENT societies and subspecialty groups in the past such as the Tri-Society Head and Neck Oncology Meeting that we hosted in Singapore in 2011.
We love to have fun as well and organize many social events such as the Annual Sports Day, a 1 day fun-filled event that brings together specialists and residents from all the various ENT departments in Singapore to compete in various sports like soccer and captain’s ball. We often catch up over dinner when we meet to listen to talks given by consultant ENT surgeons who have just returned from their overseas fellowship training stints.
It is my honour to serve as the President of this society. Together with my Executive Committee, I welcome you to come on board to join us for our numerous activities and also to help us achieve our aims of growing our fraternity. It is my deep desire and intense hope that as a fraternity, the ENT surgeons in Singapore will continue to grow deeper bonds of friendship amongst ourselves, so that as a united community, we can better serve our patients and our nation.
Please do support us!
