New Faces

Mr Anthony Chan Kin-hei
Lecturer

It is my great pleasure to join the School of Nursing at The University of Hong Kong. I obtained my Bachelor of Nursing and Master of Nursing degrees at HKU and have solid experience in both public and private hospitals. I completed my specialty training in cardiac and interventional cardiology nursing and obtained the Advanced Practice Nurse in Cardiac Nursing qualification. Transitioning from the clinical to education field, I wish to share my knowledge and management experience gained in the clinical area with our new generation of nurses. Knowledge, attitude and skill are the keys to success. Let us keep our passion and work as a team to strive for excellence in nursing education.

Mr Abraham Wan Wai-hin
Assistant Lecturer

Hi everyone, I am Abraham. It is with great humility and excitement that I announce my appointment as an Assistant Lecturer. As an alumnus of this esteemed institution, I am thrilled to return to my roots and contribute to the education of our future nurses.

I am grateful that the HKU School of Nursing equipped me with a strong foundation, which guided me throughout my career in the medicine & geriatrics unit and orthopaedic unit upon graduation.

As I embark on this new chapter, my aim is to utilise my experiences and expertise to teach our students skills and knowledge with evidence-based practice, to face the challenges of our ever-evolving healthcare landscape. I am committed to fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore their passions and develop a professional identity.

I look forward to working with my fellow colleagues and collaborating with our dedicated students to continue the proud tradition of excellence at our school.

Ms Bonnie Chan Chui-yan
Assistant Lecturer

Being able to work as an assistant lecturer at the HKU School of Nursing is an honour. Having completed my master’s degree and specialised training in paediatric nursing, my goal is to share my enthusiasm and expertise about nursing.

I spent 10 years working in paediatric wards after graduation. I’ve had the opportunity to work in the Paediatric and Adolescent Medical Ward, Pediatric/Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PNICU) and Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) over the years in Queen Mary Hospital.

I am excited to impart my knowledge, provide practical advice, and provide students with the resources they need for future careers in healthcare settings. I am hoping to create an engaging learning environment where students can gain confidence and hone their clinical skills.

Dr Thomas Lam Chun-sing
Lecturer

It is my genuine pleasure to join the School of Nursing at HKU as a lecturer. I am a locally trained biomedical scientist and obtained undergraduate (BSc (Hons)) and postgraduate degrees (MPhil and PhD) at HKU. Besides, I am a registered teacher and registered nutritionist in Hong Kong, as well as a chartered biologist and fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health in the UK. I embarked on my lectureships at HKU and Chinese University of Hong Kong several years ago and taught life science subjects in various academic programmes (Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral Degrees). I hope to share the fun of learning life science with you. Remember to let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Dr Yi-nam Suen
Assistant Professor

Hello everyone, I’m delighted to introduce myself as a returning member of this esteemed school. I am truly honoured to have the opportunity to collaborate with such a talented and dedicated team of professionals. I am eager to contribute my skills and experiences to our initiatives and I look forward to learning from you, fostering strong professional relationships, and nurturing collective growth. With confidence in our collaborative efforts to achieve shared objectives, I extend my warmest greetings and excitement to commence this journey together.

Ms DoDo Chow Wai-nei
Lecturer

I am delighted to rejoin the HKU family as a lecturer in the School of Nursing. As a teacher, I believe it is my role to serve as a role model and combine clinical expertise with a passion for teaching. Like a forester planting oak seedlings, my purpose is to actively cultivate and nurture my students by sharing the necessary knowledge, skills, experiences, and attitudes for them to become competent, confident, and compassionate nursing professionals in the future.

Dr Quanlei Li
Research Assistant Professor

I am a nurse scientist focusing on intimate partner violence (IPV). For me, HKU School of Nursing is not a place, but THE place, to continue my research and establish my professional career. The quantity and quality of IPV studies from the School simply amazed me when I was conducting my doctoral dissertation study at Johns Hopkins University. I have been fortunate to be able to study in quite a few prestigious universities in China’s Mainland, Taiwan, and the United States. It is now my good fortune to meet and work with energetic and talented scholars at the School. Hopefully my experience and expertise will be an asset to the School and Hong Kong.

Ms Renee Lau Man-man
Assistant Lecturer

I could not be more excited and grateful to work in my alma mater as an assistant lecturer. After graduating here with Bachelor of Nursing and Master of Public Health degrees, I took up several nursing roles, such as a research nurse and a midwife in the clinical field. Throughout these years, I had lots of opportunities to provide education, either to the public or to nursing students. All these experiences polished my skills and aroused my interest in becoming a nurse educator. I am looking forward to working with my lovely colleagues, nurturing the future generation together and supporting students to become competent nurses through a pleasant journey.

Ms Nessa Lai Wai-ching
Assistant Lecturer

It is my great honour to return to my alma mater, where I obtained my Bachelor of Nursing qualification, to join the professional and experienced team as an assistant lecturer. Since graduation, I have gained experience in the private ward, emergency department and simulation training. I am looking forward to nurturing students through the transmission of knowledge and skills and equipping students with the best possible learning experience, so they can be competent, passionate and caring nurses while facing various challenges in the ever-evolving healthcare system.
