S ubscription for eNewsletter N ew Faces Dr. Wendy Lam Associate Professor (Jointly appointed with the School of Public Health, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine) I am very pleased to join the School of Nursing as an Associate Professor. I look forward to this opportunity to make a positive contribution to the School. My research interest is in psycho-oncology, particularly focusing on psychosocial adaptation patterns and service optimisation. Currently, I am exploring how personal factors (such as cognitive bias) and consultation factors (e.g. promoting shared decision making) influence adaption to cancer trajectory. I am looking forward to working together with colleagues to develop and promote excellence in cancer nursing research and practice. Dr. Edmond Choi Assistant Professor It gives me great pleasure and honour to be appointed as an Assistant Professor at my alma mater, where I was nurtured and inspired by many excellent mentors and where I completed a Master of Philosophy in the field of primary care and a Doctor of Philosophy in nursing. I have been involved in various research projects, including primary care health services research, mental health, health-related quality of life and sexual health. I am looking forward to contributing to the university’s global reputation in education and research for the betterment of mankind.
