The Outpatient Procedure Centre (OPC) comprises several clinics: Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT), Outpatient Parenteral Infusion Clinic (OPIC), Travel Clinic and Allergy Clinic.
OPAT & OPIC provides specialised and therapeutic services for adults, aged 18 and above which caters to both private and subsidised patients. Patient care is performed with background in supervised clinical training and research. The clinic is supported by a team consisting of Clinicians, Assistant Nurse Clinicians, Registered Nurses and Service Associates. OPIC & OPAT are important pillars to support NUHS right-siting initiatives for our patients. This is done through the setup of a safe and efficient outpatient environment for the convenience of patients, cutting down on the number of days spent in inpatient ward and allowing patients to return to their homes the next day.
