FEATURE CLINICAL AFFAIRS: Growing the HKU Health System HKU Health System, consisting of four hospitals in the private and public sectors in Hong Kong and Shenzhen and a handful of self-governed clinical units, has served the Faculty and Hong Kong as a whole very well, supporting clinical teaching and research endeavours and bringing continuous improvements to patient care. But in recent years, the Faculty’s rapid growth has increased the demand for more clinical venues and opportunities. Professor Victoria Wong Wing-yee, Associate Dean (Clinical Affairs), is now tasked with meeting that demand by collaborating with our clinical partners to equip HKU Health System to accommodate Hong Kong’s evolving clinical needs. ‘We are doing a lot of planning to facilitate clinical research and training needs, especially with the increase in student intake. At the same time, we need to be able to support medical advances and contribute to the strategic development of the University and the government,’ she said. She is supported by two Assistant Deans for health system advancement, Professors Christian Fang Xinshuo and Emily Tse Tsui-yee, and two Assistant Deans for hospital engagement, Professors Rex Lam Pui-kin and ↑Professor Victoria Wong Wing-yee (centre) and the Clinical Affairs sub-deanery: (from left) Professor Christian Fang Xinshuo, Professor Emily Tse Tsui-yee, Professor Pauline Yeung Pui-ning and Professor Rex Lam Pui-kin 14
