Mr Jackie Tey is a recipient of MOH Holdings’ Health Science and Nursing Scholarship for Podiatry and began his podiatry career at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) followed by Sengkang General Hospital (SKH). During his time serving in public healthcare institutions, he was part of a multidisciplinary team and worked closely with Orthopaedic surgeons, Vascular Surgeons and Endocrinologists in treating patients with complex diabetic foot complications. He was also involved in clinical research to help improve care delivery and patient outcomes. His passion and genuine care earned him recognition and awards during his time at SKH. His dedication to patient care also led to the innovation of a new negative pressure wound dressing technique, for which he and his team won the first prize internationally.
Aside from his commitments to diabetic foot care, Mr Tey also has extensive experience in treating patients with musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and paediatric lower limb conditions. He has a strong interest in lower limb biomechanics and sports injuries and is very well-regarded by his peers for his deep knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of various lower limb conditions. His interest in these areas was led by his experience in growing up with flatfeet and competing in basketball, hockey and volleyball. These experiences have also given him a keen ability to relate to patients with sports injuries and the first-hand experience to treat them effectively.
Setelah mengembangkan minat yang kuat dalam bidang perubatan sejak muda, Encik Tey melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat Diploma Sains Bioperubatan dan seterusnya menerima Biasiswa Sains Kesihatan dan Kejururawatan oleh MOH Holdings untuk belajar Podiatry di Australia.
Encik Tey menamatkan pengajian di atas kelasnya dengan Kepujian Kelas Pertama dalam Podiatry dari Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. Sepanjang pengajiannya, beliau telah dianugerahkan Senarai Kepujian Dekan Eksekutif Fakulti Kesihatan setiap semester. Kecemerlangan akademiknya juga telah memenangi Anugerah Charles W Graves untuk Ortotik dan Anugerah Leonard K Claxton untuk Kajian Klinikal oleh Persatuan Podiatri Australia. Beliau kini berkhidmat sebagai Felo Klinikal di QUT.
Encik Tey berterima kasih atas peluang untuk belajar dan merawat pesakit di luar negara kerana ia memberinya kemahiran untuk berhubung dengan pesakit pelbagai latar belakang dengan mudah. Beliau ingin mengaplikasikan pengetahuan dan kemahirannya untuk menjaga pesakit dan meningkatkan kesedaran tentang Podiatry di Singapura.
