In view of the development of the Novel Coronavirus outbreak, the Organising Committee of the HA Convention 2020 has decided to cancel this year's Convention originally scheduled for 4-5 May 2020.
The annual Convention aims to promote the sharing of knowledge and experience in clinical advances and approaches to modern healthcare service, and facilitates exploration and discussion of contemporary concepts among healthcare professionals and stakeholders. The scientific programme of the Hospital Authority Convention 2020 will focus on the HA's core values, viz. "People-centred Care", "Professional Service", "Committed Staff" and "Teamwork".
Hospital Authority Convention 2020 will feature some 90 distinguished overseas and local speakers to share their knowledge and insights, and interact with delegates at over 45 sessions. The Plenary Sessions and Symposiums will focus on the HA's core values, while the Parallel Sessions and Special Sessions will include topics on medical training, health IT, new clinical practices, hospital design and healthcare in Mainland China. There will also be Masterclasses on various clinical topics, such as orthopaedic rehabilitation, perioperative medicine, thyroid eye disease and oncology service.
