RS is pleased to announce that our teaching team for subjects related to "Environmental Issues and Assistive Technology" has been awarded the Faculty Teaching Award for Outstanding Performance/Achievement in Teaching 2018/19, in recognition of the team’s outstanding performance and achievement in teaching. The team is also the recipient of the RS Outstanding Teaching Award 2018/2019. The team consists of the following members:  Dr Kenneth Fong, Associate Professor, RS (Team Leader) Mr Eddie Hai, Clinical Associate, RS Mr Philip Ng, Technical Officer, RS The team has incorporated innovative prototype making and interactive showcase, flipped classroom in contextual learning and blended learning in interactive virtual reality into the teaching of RS320 Environmental Issues in OT Practice, RS3200 Enabling Occupation: Environmental Issues and Assistive Technology, and RS5366 Environmental Issues in OT Practice. The subject-based projects supervised by the teaching team greatly enhanced the creativity of students, broadened their horizons and further inspired them with valuable experiences from showcases, presentation and overseas competition, influencing their current study as well as life-long learning. Such positive and intriguing experiences would benefit students on making significant contribution to the society at present and in the future. The impact of the project can be further demonstrated based on the positive feedback received from students, and many local and international awards gained for products designed. In particular, the students taking these teaching subjects have been inspired and invented many creative products that have won awards in many international competitions, such as gaining awards in Global Student Innovation Challenge (gSIC) at International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe) for six consecutive years. In the recent i-CREATe 2019, two teams of students won Gold and Bronze awards in the Design Category (details).

康復治療科學系系主任曾永康教授接受傳媒訪問，分享對基層醫療發展的看法

康復治療科學系系主任曾永康教授接受傳媒訪問，分享對基層醫療發展的看法 康復治療科學系系主任曾永康教授早前接受傳媒專訪，分享他對政府大力推動基層醫療的看法。兼任基層醫療健康發展督導委員會委員的曾教授認為，政府大力推動基層醫療，位於葵青區的全港首間地區康健中心9月底啟用，為區內居民提供健康評估及專職治療，但中心仍有改善空間，應涵蓋更多類型疾病，包括精神健康問題；長遠亦不應靠津貼做誘因，而是要由教育做起加強大眾「治未病」意識。曾教授形容，現時政府是一步步推行基層醫療，「不能說理念不正確」，但不妨行前一些，毋須規範於地區康健中心進行，「康健中心只是其中一個模式，不是唯一機構。」他建議參考先進國家如加拿大的基層醫療理念，「不只是講prevention（預防），是講wellness（健康）。」他解釋wellness 在英文的意思，不止形容身體沒有疾病，而是全面涵蓋生理、心理、社會及精神健康。他認為，基層醫療要做得好，單靠政府是不可能，同時要非牟利機構甚至私人企業參與，亦倚靠專職醫療人員多投入社區，推廣健康服務。他提到理大的職業治療及物理治療科系，曾與志願機構合作，安排學生落區為長者做身體檢查；以及為香港員警學院學員提供運動創傷評估；在慈善跑活動中提供駐場運動物理治療服務等。 目前理大職業治療及物理治療的畢業生，大部分都被醫院吸納，過去五年物理治療生加入醫院的比例達八至九成，職業治療亦達六至七成，投身社區的人相對較少。曾教授說政府知悉問題，希望理大增加學額，但受限於校園空間飽和，需在計劃中的何文田新大樓落成後才能配合。至於學額能夠增加多少，目前未有定案，有待同政府磋商。 傳媒報導：香港經濟日報 A24, 東方日報 A13, am730 A22 網上媒體報導: 香港01 - http://trsurl.com/s/2dsj 香港電台「晨早新聞天地」(約 55:15 至 59:40) - http://trsurl.com/s/2dsl  思考HK - https://bit.ly/2qaVvtu
