KK Hospital is a restructured, large tertiary hospital with a socio-economically diverse population from the four main ethnic groups in Singapore. I have been an IBCLC since 1993 and has recertified by CERPs and by exam.

Since 1994, I have been conducting lactation education for both KK Hospital and nurses from other health care institution in Singapore. I also conduct in-service education on lactation for doctors, nurses, allied health care staff and medical students. Currently, I mentor staff and staff from other health care institutions with clinical practice sessions to enhance their skills to assist the breastfeeding mothers. I have participated in the development of the MOH nursing clinical practice guidelines on breastfeeding for both the term and pre-term infants.
