In 2016, the Lien Centre for Palliative Care (LCPC) set up an ‘Education Incubator’ with the aim of developing and delivering high quality educational programs in collaboration with other health care departments and institutions across Singapore. This model recognizes the wealth of clinical talent and vast experience in palliative care education but also the high constraints and competing priorities faced by palliative care providers. Therefore, the education incubator is structured to enable health care professionals to teach and learn, while minimising the operational and logistical oversight required to deliver these programs. LCPC’s Education team can provide the pedagogical and operational support required to develop and deliver such programs.

What does Education Incubator do?
The Incubator will provide support via direct funding, manpower, subject matter and pedagogical expertise, and other resources for project management required to jump-start and sustain high quality educational programs that will enhance service delivery in Singapore. All Education initiatives will be overseen by Dr Alethea Yee, Director of Education at LCPC, and benefit from input by faculty of Duke-NUS, Singhealth, and local and international experts in palliative care education.
