In partnership with the Society of Innovative Social Work, Hong Kong Spinocerebellar Ataxia Association, Hong Kong Stroke Association and other non-governmental organisations, the Orthopaedic and Traumatology course for this academic year (2021/22) provided BCM students with a unique service-learning experience in which they teamed up with patients to promote wellness. The coronavirus outbreak has prevented a lot of patients, especially those with chronic illnesses, from leaving their homes and getting access to medical care and their support groups. In order to help these people maintain health and fitness at home, the service team has produced a series of videos introducing various health management approaches, such as Baduanjin, acupoint tui na and food therapy. These videos will be available on the websites of the partnering organisations.
