Health Volunteer Training Workshop: “The Great Winter Skincare Battle” 12/2019

The “Home Health Watch – Health Volunteer Training Programme” organised by the Open University of Hong Kong is committed to providing the local community free health volunteer training. This year, the School of Nursing and Health Studies invited a total of twenty-nine social welfare agencies and volunteer groups to participate in this programme in order to make joint efforts to train community health volunteers. On 21st December, 2019, the programme organised a practical workshop attended by over 150 volunteers. The workshop, with the theme of “The Great Winter Skincare Battle”, invited Dr Fong Yuk-fai, Ben and Registered Nurse Mr Ling Siu Kai, Wilfred, to be the guest speakers. Dr Fong talked about common skin problems in the elderly to enable us to understand the causes and symptoms of each skin problem from multiple perspectives, and explained relevant treatments. Mr Ling presented skincare skills and other important information to the audience, and shared his valuable insights on skincare.
