At its inaugural event, SCORA partnered with Mother’s Choice and hosted a workshop on safe abortion. In January 2020, AMSAHK represented Hong Kong at the East Asian Medical Students Conference in New Delhi, India. At the conference, The Standing Committee on Public Health was awarded second place in the Public Health Poster Competition.

Nursing Society’s Academic Seminar 2019 The Nursing Society’s Academic Seminar was held on September 20, 2020. It aimed to provide a platform for the members to acquire academic information and further discuss major academic issues. The Society was very honoured to have Ms Connie Chu Ho-nee ( 朱可您 ) , the Chief Operation Officer of the Medical & Health Group of Helping Hand, to discuss with us the topics of natural death at home and palliative care. In the seminar, Ms Chu introduced the current situation with regard to natural death and palliative care measures implemented in Hong Kong. She shared her experiences with us and about how she worked to provide end-of-life care to the elderly in need. The seminar gave both inspiration and insight in equal measure on how to face death on a nursing career path.
