Family Medicine (FM) core values shape clinical practice, education, policy, and professional identity, yet their interpretation and “hierarchy” vary across countries and health systems. Foundational values (person-centred care, continuity, comprehensiveness and coordination) remain prominent, but are increasingly complemented by newer priorities such as stewardship, advocacy, sustainability and comfort with complexity, with clear regional differences in emphasis.

In Singapore, primary care is being reshaped by longitudinal community-linked care expectations (e.g. Healthier SG, Age Well SG) and by modern stress-tests such as digital/remote modalities. At the same time, FM values are often taught implicitly and inconsistently, with no single locally agreed consensus statement to guide training, service standards and advocacy.

This interactive workshop bridges ethos to everyday practice by helping participants surface, name and operationalise FM values into observable “values-in-action” behaviours for common primary care dilemmas. Participants will engage in facilitated values-clarification activities to co-create draft wording, definitions and local examples for a Singapore-relevant set of FM values. The workshop outputs will be synthesised into a curated list of candidate value statements and behaviours that will function as input to a planned modified Delphi process.
