Enhancing Primary Ophthalmic Care for the Digital Age The Hong Kong Distinguished Lecture 2018 The School of Nursing, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Housing Authority, organised the Healthy Ageing in Public Housing Estates Programme 2018/19 starting from September 1, 2018. The programme aims to promote active lifestyles and healthy ageing among elderly tenants living in public housing estates. Led by an experienced community nurse, our nursing students provided elderly tenants with free health check services and advice on aged-related illnesses. This was done in three parts. Firstly, health checks were performed at the tenants’ homes in Sai Wan Estate. Then, mobile health check stations and mini health exhibition about sarcopenia were set up at different public housing estates to educate the residents. To date the initiative has performed health checks for over 800 elderly tenants and the mini health exhibition has received over 5,000 visitors. In the third part, health talks about sarcopenia were organised for 600 elderly tenants from 14 public housing estates in different districts. The School of Nursing hopes to continue promoting healthy ageing in the community through various events and initiatives such as this.
