Chronic Illness Screening (CIS) and Screen for Life (SFL) are campaigns driven in collaboration with Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), Health Promotion Board (HPB) and GP Partners with the aim to encourage cardiovascular screening and provide health interventions to Central Health (CH) residents for better preventive health.

In partnership with GPs in the community, CIS and SFL will encourage residents to do regular screening and follow-up care with their preferred GP clinic close to their home. TTSH also aims to support GPs and residents with health coaching and lifestyle intervention advice conducted by TTSH Health Coaches for holistic preventive care.

CH collaborates with community partners and GP Partners to organise Community Screening events for residents living in Central Singapore who are deemed to be 'hard to reach'. Following such Community Screening, CH directs the screening participants who require clinical follow up to their said GP Partners.

GPFirst is a national programme that encourage residents with non-urgent conditions to first seek treatment at General Practitioners (GPs) rather than at the acute hospital’s Accident & Emergency Department (A&E)

Should the Healthier SG Clinic or participating GP assess that the patient requires onward referral to either an Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) or A&E for acute interventions, the patient will receive a $50 subsidy off the prevailing attendance fee upon arrival at the UCC/A&E.

GPNext engages TTSH preferred GP partners to review post-ED patients with minor or no emergencies directly from TTSH Emergency Department (ED) to GPs

Instead of being reviewed by a specialist, patients with minor or no emergencies are more appropriately transited from TTSH ED to GPs for follow-up review and care.

If a specialist review is deemed necessary within three months since the patient was discharged from TTSH ED through GPNext, the patient will be able to receive a specialist appointment within two weeks.
