About SHBC
Jointly organised by the National Healthcare Group (NHG) and the National University Health System (NUHS), the Annual Scientific Congress (ASC) is now officially known as the ‘1st Singapore Health and Biomedical Congress (SHBC 2010)’. Moving away from old traditions and creating a new wave of information sharing among the different niche of the scientific and healthcare community in Singapore and Asia, SHBC 2010 will continue its predecessor’s goal and mission.
The theme for this inaugural Congress – ‘Improving Health for our Community – A Holistic and Integrated Approach’ looks at sharing latest topics and issues relating to clinical research and treatment of major diseases and disorders in a holistic and integrated manner. Major tracks at SHBC 2010 will not only focus on its own specialty but also discuss how these specialties will lead to ones’ overall well being, how it interlinks with ones’ social determinants of health and its impact on the community health as a whole.
Serving as the highlight of SHBC 2010, the Scientific Competition is now an open competition for all medical and scientific professionals in Singapore. SHBC 2010 will be awarding each of the major disciplines in the medical arena. The awards are:
- Singapore Clinician-Investigator Award
- Singapore Allied Health Award
- Singapore Nursing Award
- Singapore Young Investigator Award (YIA)
- Basic Science Research / Translational Research

- Quality, Health Services Research
- Singapore Best Poster Award
Interested participants are welcome to send in abstracts to 5 poster categories:
- Allied Health
- Basic Science Research / Translational Research
- Clinical Research
- Nursing
- Quality, Health Services Research
This annual journey of scientific exchange will end off with SHBC 2010 Congress Dinner. Held on the last day of the Congress, with the aim to celebrate and congratulate individuals’ efforts in their endless pursuit for scientific excellence, the dinner will be star studded by the winners of the SHBC Scientific Competition.
