In light of the pandemic, a group of BCM students and teachers who went on a service-learning tour to Qinghai last year resorted to online communication technologies to continue the programme’s annual outreach efforts.  Under the supervision of their teachers, the students examined and provided medical advice to young patients with cerebral palsy at the Xining Social Welfare Institute in Qinghai Province via a real-time communication platform from 20 August to 3 September.  In order for patients to continue receiving appropriate TCM treatments, the students also shared their knowledge of bone and joint diseases with the healthcare workers of the Institute, taught them basic manual therapy techniques and teamed up with them in the design of long-term treatment plans for patients.
