Mindfulness: A New Paradigm of Psychosocial Care in the Palliative Care Setting in Southeast Asia.

From Bolam-Bolitho to Modified-Montgomery - A Paradigm Shift in the Legal Standard of Determining Medical Negligence in Singapore.
Abstract In a recent landmark litigation, the Singapore Court of Appeal introduced a new legal standard for determining medical negligence with regards to information disclosure - the Modified-Montgomery test.

23(rd) Gordon Arthur Ransome Oration: Law and Medicine: Professions of Honour, Service and Excellence.
Abstract Amidst dramatic global change, there is a greater need than ever for principled and committed professionals.

Three further commitments follow from this: first, to nurture and mentor new entrants to the professions to ensure the continuance of that mission of public service; second, to improve access...
