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).

康复治疗科学系系主任曾永康教授接受传媒访问，分享对基层医疗发展的看法

康复治疗科学系系主任曾永康教授接受传媒访问，分享对基层医疗发展的看法 康复治疗科学系系主任曾永康教授早前接受传媒专访，分享他对政府大力推动基层医疗的看法。兼任基层医疗健康发展督导委员会委员的曾教授认为，政府大力推动基层医疗，位于葵青区的全港首间地区康健中心9月底启用，为区内居民提供健康评估及专职治疗，但中心仍有改善空间，应涵盖更多类型疾病，包括精神健康问题；长远亦不应靠津贴做诱因，而是要由教育做起加强大众「治未病」意识。曾教授形容，现时政府是一步步推行基层医疗，「不能说理念不正确」，但不妨行前一些，毋须规范于地区康健中心进行，「康健中心只是其中一个模式，不是唯一机构。」他建议参考先进国家如加拿大的基层医疗理念，「不只是讲prevention（预防），是讲wellness（健康）。」他解释wellness 在英文的意思，不止形容身体没有疾病，而是全面涵盖生理、心理、社会及精神健康。他认为，基层医疗要做得好，单靠政府是不可能，同时要非牟利机构甚至私人企业参与，亦倚靠专职医疗人员多投入社区，推广健康服务。他提到理大的职业治疗及物理治疗科系，曾与志愿机构合作，安排学生落区为长者做身体检查；以及为香港员警学院学员提供运动创伤评估；在慈善跑活动中提供驻场运动物理治疗服务等。 目前理大职业治疗及物理治疗的毕业生，大部分都被医院吸纳，过去五年物理治疗生加入医院的比例达八至九成，职业治疗亦达六至七成，投身社区的人相对较少。曾教授说政府知悉问题，希望理大增加学额，但受限于校园空间饱和，需在计划中的何文田新大楼落成后才能配合。至于学额能够增加多少，目前未有定案，有待同政府磋商。 传媒报导：香港经济日报 A24, 东方日报 A13, am730 A22 网上媒体报导: 香港01 - http://trsurl.com/s/2dsj 香港电台「晨早新闻天地」(约 55:15 至 59:40) - http://trsurl.com/s/2dsl  思考HK - https://bit.ly/2qaVvtu
