Dr. Irene Gay
General Practitioner
Dr. Irene Gay is Farrer Park Hospital’s in-house General Practitioner at HealthConnexion.
She obtained her basic medical degree from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, and has lived a total of 14 years in Sydney where she worked in the New South Wales health system, before returning back to Singapore to be with her family.
After returning to Singapore, Dr. Gay rotated through the public healthcare system and was further qualified with a Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine from National University of Singapore and a Postgraduate Diploma in Practical Dermatology from Cardiff University. She has worked in the Aeromedical Center where she screened for the fitness of aviation personnel in the Air Force. As a Designated Medical Examiner for the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, she evaluated commercial pilots in determining their fitness to renew their pilot license. She has also worked in the Ministry of Manpower where she was trained in occupational health and safety.
Dr. Gay has extensive experience in health screening and has also worked as a primary care doctor in staff clinics of multinational companies and also public hospitals.
Early detection of diseases can significantly improve long-term health outcomes. For example, diagnosing and treating high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol early can prevent strokes and heart disease, while early detection of cancers like breast, cervical, or colon cancer can save lives through timely treatment. Dr. Gay keeps up to date with current screening guidelines through regular medical education sessions. This enables her to guide her patients on selecting the latest appropriate screening tests and recommend screening intervals for them based on their ages, history and risk profiles.
A keen believer in health span rather than lifespan per se, she focuses on empowering patients with the knowledge to stay healthy. She provides guidance on lifestyle changes such as diet, nutrition, exercise, and stress management to help patients lead healthier, longer lives. As vaccines play an important role in keeping healthy, Dr. Gay also keeps abreast with the latest available vaccines and promotes them where indicated.
