The Teaching and Research Division co-organised a series of real-time online workshops with the Knowledge Transfer Office at the annual HK SciFest held by the Hong Kong Science Museum from 26 March to 11 April. Carrying the theme of “Smart Healthy Living with Chinese Medicine: from Traditional to Innovative Ways”, the workshops introduced participants to acupoint massage and the basics of Chinese medicine, walked them through the steps of making a Chinese medicinal herbal sachet and showcased the School’s latest innovations in medical research. In addition to sending DIY kits of the herbal sachet to those who successfully registered for the workshops, the Division joined hands with the Department of Sport, Physical Education and Health to create a video to demonstrate to the public the application of acupressure, a soup recipe and a series of exercises for weight control.
The Clinical Division also took the occasion to promote preventive health management by organising two webinars on hyperthyroidism and health preservation through emotion control, as well as offering free body constitution assessments and online health consultations to elders aged 60 or above.
