The Social and Health Manpower Development Programme (SHMDP)

Background

The Social & Health Manpower Development Programme (SHMDP) was launched by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in 2002. Administered by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) since 2009, SHMDP aims to develop the manpower capabilities of ILTC staff and improve the quality and range of services in Singapore.

Since its inauguration, many ILTC staff have utilised the fundings for local and overseas training to advance their skillsets, their respective fields of expertise. ILTC staff intending to apply for HMDP-ILTC should do so through their employing ILTC institutions to SHMDP Secretariat.

SHMDP provides the following two funding schemes:

  1. Fellowship:
    The scheme provides funding support for medical, nursing, allied healthcare professional and administrator/care support staff to pursue ILTC-relevant training or skills upgrading at local or overseas institution.

  2. Visiting Expert:
    This scheme provides funding support for ILTC institution to invite overseas or local experts who specialise in areas relevant to the ILTC sector to impart their skills and share their knowledge with the local audience in ad-hoc platforms such as lectures, seminars, workshops and visits to the ILTC institutions.
