A visit to Hong Kong

Year 2012 is quite a happening year for us, and step into 2013, I took a trip to Hong Kong. I was wondering if I could have a visit to a hospital in Hong Kong to understand their job scope and how it differs from my current work. Without any preparation, I came to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Hong Kong. I appreciated the kindness of Miss Lena who gave a brief introduction of  dietetic department work.

A chapter of Christmas diet to encourage people having a healthy and happy Christmas meal.

This is my first time having an experience in understanding foreign dietetic practices and workflow even-though I traveled quite a number of times. The first differences I think is their dietitian department is using a centralized catering order system which is practiced in few hospitals as well. This can achieve a standardize therapeutic. Their clinical management is still towards diet manual from Europe side (with scientific evidence) and is similar to what Malaysian dietitian are practicing. I am happy to have these inputs and hope to have the next opportunity.

我很开心去了一趟香港，也能在香港的一家医院了解营养部门的工作范围，看和我目前的工作有什么不同。在没有任何准备，我来到香港伊利沙伯医院。所以，非常感谢善良的部门主任简要的给我介绍了饮食部门的工作。
