New Faces

Ms Hemio Lam Chung-yan
Lecturer

I am grateful to join the School of Nursing at HKU as a Lecturer. I am a psychiatric nurse and completed a community psychiatric nurse post-registration training programme. I worked in psychiatric hospitals for six years before working in universities. I also have over seven years of teaching experience and am expert in teaching psychiatric nursing. As we all know: no health without mental health. I strongly believe all of us need to know about mental health. I am looking forward to sharing my clinical experience with you.

Ms Candice Fong Ka-ki
Assistant Lecturer

I am honoured and excited about the opportunity to begin my teaching journey here at HKU School of Nursing as an Assistant Lecturer. My experience in oncology nursing and neonatal intensive care nursing denotes my professional attitude, enthusiasm and hands-on experience in working with young talented nurses. As a new teacher, I feel that facilitating the growth and development of students at HKU School of Nursing only reaffirms my own passion. I am passionate about forging relationships with students to build a sense of confidence and enable them to grow as learners. I look forward to inspiring, teaching, and mentoring the next generation of nurses, leading the way to the future of patient care.

Ms Karina Fung Yuen-ki
Assistant Lecturer

I am truly excited to have the opportunity to join the School of Nursing at this prestigious University as an Assistant Lecturer. I obtained my Bachelor of Nursing and Master of Nursing degrees in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and worked in the Department of Medicine in an acute public hospital after graduation. In deciding to transit from a clinical setting to an educational field, I believe that being a nursing educator will be as meaningful and rewarding as working at the frontline. Motivational writer William Arthur Ward once wrote, “Teaching is more than imparting knowledge; it is inspiring change. Learning is more than absorbing facts; it is acquiring understanding.” Therefore, I look forward to embarking on this new journey to nurture future nurses, as well as learn from the experience and the amazing colleagues here.

Ms Sze Tsz-yan
Assistant Lecturer

It is an honour to join the School of Nursing at The University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Lecturer. After graduating with a Bachelor of Nursing from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, I have pursued further studies such as Master of Nursing and specialty training. Previously, I worked as a specialty nurse in Renal Nursing and I liked to share my experience and clinical knowledge with new colleagues and juniors. This built up my interest in nursing education as I saw the importance of it. I am grateful to work with my colleagues to support, empower and motivate students in their journey of becoming a competent nurse.
