Introduction Message
Anaesthesiology is a dynamic and intellectually stimulating specialty that requires the integration of clinical acumen, technical proficiency, and compassionate patient care. Each day presents the unique challenge of guiding patients with diverse medical conditions safely and comfortably through surgery.
The NHG Anaesthesiology Residency Programme is committed to nurturing residents into well-rounded, confident, and future-ready Anaesthesiologists. Our programme has established strengths in areas such as Surgical and Neurosurgical Intensive Care Medicine, Neuroanaesthesia, Trauma Anaesthesia, Regional Anaesthesia, and Pain Medicine. In addition, we are recognised for our advancements in Perioperative Medicine and the use of technology in the operating theatres and intensive care units.
With close mentorship from dedicated faculty and collaborative opportunities across institutions, you will be part of a stimulating educational environment designed to support your growth — clinically, academically, and professionally.

The programme is primarily conducted in the departments of Anaesthesiology at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH). We also collaborate and conduct mutual exchange of residents with National University Hospital, KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Singapore General Hospital to provide additional learning and networking opportunities for residents, and promote collegiality within the close-knit Anaesthesia community in Singapore.
Tan Tock Seng Hospital
The Department of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine of Tan Tock Seng Hospital offers residents a stimulating and challenging clinical experience. Our department is a national leader in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical care, Surgical Intensive care as well as Regional Anaesthesia. In addition, TTSH being a leading trauma centre in Singapore means that our residents have a rich clinical experience in trauma resuscitation and providing anaesthesia for polytrauma. Our dedicated and experienced faculty members uphold a strong tradition in teaching and mentoring, and consistently win teaching accolades. We strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for our residents to learn and practise the art and science of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain medicine.
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital
In Khoo Teck Puat Hospital's Anaesthesia Department, our residents receive exposure to a wide range of surgical cases in the operating theatres, intensive care units and wards. Besides pioneering the first Regional Anaesthesia Block Area (RABA) in the nation, airway management, geriatric anaesthesia, trauma anaesthesia as well as research are just some of our department's other strengths. We comprise a team of dedicated clinicians, both overseas and locally trained, each with a wealth of experience and skills to impart to our residents.
