New Faces

Dr Benjamin Ho Mu-hsing
Research Assistant Professor

I am very pleased and honoured to join the HKU School of Nursing as a Research Assistant Professor. I graduated with my PhD from the University of Wollongong in Australia and my research interests include critical care, delirium and cognitive impairment, cancer and palliative care. With the expertise in delirium care developed through my career as a critical care nurse, I have contributed to the synthesis of research that underpins clinical guidelines in the intensive care settings. I am currently the associate editor of Australasian Journal on Ageing and BMC Nursing. Very much looking forward to working with and learning from all the amazing colleagues at HKU School of Nursing.

Ms Charlene Chan Sheung-yiu
Assistant Lecturer

I am honoured and delighted to join the HKU School of Nursing as Assistant Lecturer. After graduating with a Bachelor of Nursing, I gained experience in the neonatal intensive care unit, special baby care unit and paediatrics medical and surgical ward. Over the years, I have also undertaken further study to enhance my knowledge and skills. Since I enjoy teaching, I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience to nurture the next generation to become competent, caring and responsible nursing professionals in the future.

Ms Caroline Yang Wai-lam
Lecturer

It's my pleasure and honour to re-join the HKU family to work again with the strong teaching team in the School of Nursing. Over 20 years in the nursing field, I have spent half of my career working in various clinical specialties and the other half as a nurse educator. My solid clinical background has helped me to teach students about clinical matters. At the same time, I realise that the role of a nurse educator is not only to transfer knowledge but also to understand students' needs and engage with them in order to motivate them to learn actively. Especially in the pandemic of COVID-19, I understand that nursing students are facing a lot of challenges in their studies and clinical learning. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to collaborate with my colleagues, keep connected with students, identify their needs and provide support to them, so as to lead our next generations to be competent and professional nurses.

Ms Kammi Wong Kam-ying
Assistant Lecturer

I am thankful to be back as Assistant Lecturer, having worked in various clinical and community settings in Hong Kong and overseas. From medicine, surgery, intensive care, to care for the aged, I have had opportunities to mentor and teach student nurses and junior colleagues. It has been rewarding to witness their growth, which has sparked my interest in becoming a nurse educator. Being a part of the teaching team, I am willing to share my clinical experience and nurture our future nursing leaders.

Ms Ranjit Kaur
Assistant Lecturer

I am more than lucky to be a member of the HKU School of Nursing family. Since obtaining my Registered Nurse license, I have gained mixed specialties experience in clinical nursing and specialised in surgical nursing. At the same time I continue to update my nursing knowledge through continued studying. I have also completed an MBA in Health Service Management and MSc in Nursing (Clinical Leadership). Working at Gleneagles Hospital gave me an opportunity to be a member of a commissioning team and teaching at another tertiary institute for a few years in Hong Kong equipped me for further teaching at HKU. I look forward to contributing to the School through my teaching and working experience and to benefit our nursing students by equipping them with the confidence to contribute to healthcare in Hong Kong. My research interest is in clinical practice and nursing education.

Dr Esther Lo Wing-sze
Lecturer

It is my honour to return to my alma mater, HKU School of Nursing, to work as a Lecturer. I am very pleased to contribute to the place where I obtained my Doctorate degree and learned how to pursue excellence in nursing. I am very glad to have this opportunity to be part of the School’s energetic team and look forward to fully-equipping our students to succeed in their life-learning journey in nursing.

Ms Vivienne Lee Wai-man
Assistant Lecturer

It is my great honour to join HKU’s School of Nursing as an Assistant Lecturer. I completed my general nursing training and medical specialty nursing training with the Hospital Authority, and post-graduate studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am guided by a traditional proverb “He who teaches, learns.” I look forward to providing guidance to nursing students clinically and ethically, which will also be a source of inspiration to me.

Ms Angel Yip Tsz-ting
Assistant Lecturer

It is my honour to join the HKU School of Nursing as Assistant Lecturer. I worked in acute hospitals, Intensive care units (ICU) and high dependency units (HDU), for more than ten years prior to joining the School. I have exposure to both public and private healthcare systems. Other than clinical knowledge and experience, I also look forward to sharing with students my joy and passion throughout my service as a nurse. I hope my sharing can motivate and inspire our future nurses.
