Dr William Chan
Dr William Chan has a Masters in Family Medicine from National University Singapore (NUS) and a Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine from NTU, Singapore. He has 14 years of experience working in various hospital and clinic settings, including in the emergency room. He is currently running his own home medical service called Care At Home. He teaches post-graduate family medicine with the College of Family Physicians (CFPS). He also teaches undergraduates at the LKC school of medicine. The Living Well series will help healthcare professionals and stakeholders to better equip themselves with the skills and knowledge to understand and manage people with diabetes and its related acute and chronic complications based on a person-centered approach. Exercise is one of the best examples of a useful preventive health measure to prevent organ complications from diabetes mellitus. This is often a simple way of managing diabetes with fewer prescriptive medications. It is also one of the reasons why Healthier SG and various efforts by community partners support a holistic approach towards living well. We hope participants will learn concrete tools to support patients in their journey towards better health.
