Anna Goh Phu Xua
Senior Enrolled Nurse, Ward 10A
21 November 2022
Anna emerged as Champion of the 16th Tan Chin Tuan Nursing Award, the highest accolade dedicated to the profession of Enrolled Nurses in Singapore.
Anna has served in the Neurology wards for 17 years, which comes with its unique set of challenges. To Anna, caring for these patients, who usually cannot perform daily activities and experience emotional distress, can be very rewarding. She finds personal satisfaction when she is able to motivate and be a beacon of hope for her patients in recovering well, and moving forward with life.
Anna also actively participates in projects that positively impact patient care outcomes. They include developing a clinical guideline which has achieved 100% compliance in eliminating catheter associated urinary tract infection, and a safety protocol to assist clinicians and caregivers to ensure accurate placement of the nasogastric tube for patients to be safely fed.
On top of that, she assumes a teaching role to facilitate the growth and development of younger nurses under her care.
