✨ What an afternoon at the AWDS Private Practice Masterclass! 🙌
It was a privilege to bring Singapore’s women in private medical and dental practice together on a Saturday afternoon at the Courtyard by Marriott.
The afternoon was warm, honest, and genuinely practical — exactly what we had hoped for when we set out to build an event that speaks to the real realities of running a practice in Singapore today.
The highlight of the afternoon was our Fireside Chat- aptly titled Strategic, Sustainable and Successful.
Moderated by Dr Jade Kua, Leadership and Longevity Coach at , our panel of four extraordinary women shared candidly about the journeys behind their thriving practices:
🌹Dr Hwang Yee Cheau — Orthodontist and CEO, TP Dental
🌹Dr Adeline Wong — Prosthodontist, The Oral Care Centre
🌹Dr Chia Hui Ling — Plastic Surgeon, SW1
🌹Dr Valerie Tay — ENT Surgeon, Aspire ENT
The conversation touched on the questions many of us carry but rarely get to ask in the right company:
🏥 Practice structure — What are the real trade-offs between solo and group practice? How do you choose the model that fits not just your clinical vision, but your life?
👩⚕️ Staff training and retention — Building a team that stays, grows, and genuinely cares about the practice is one of the hardest and most rewarding parts of the job. Our panellists shared what has worked — and what has not
⚙️ Practice efficiency — From systems and workflows to delegation and technology, how do you build a clinic that runs well even when you step back and staff turnover
🧘♀️ Work-life balance and stress management — Four accomplished doctors spoke openly about protecting their mental health, setting boundaries, and sustaining the energy to show up fully — for their patients, their teams, and themselves.
Alongside the fireside chat, our expert speakers covered the full landscape of modern practice management — cybersecurity and the Health Information Act, AI-powered workflow automation, business growth and practice valuation, digital presence and user experience strategy, and holistic financial planning tailored for doctors.
