13rough the transformation from the Institute of Medicaland Health Care to today’s Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, former Deans Dr William.H.P. Lewis (1977– 1995), Prof Michel. A. Millodot (1995–1996), Prof George Woo (1997–2004 and 2008–2011), Prof omas Wong (2004 – 2008), Prof Maurice Yap (2011–June 2017) and the current Interim Dean, Prof Daniel Shek ( July 2017–present), have wholeheartedly developed the Faculty to become not only a professional but also a unique learning facility in the health and social sciences.從醫療服務學院到今天的醫療及社會科學院，歷任院長盧亦思博士(1977年-1995年)、繆朗濤教授(1995年 –1996年 )、胡志城教授(1997年–2004年及2008年–2011年)、汪國成教授(2004年–2008年)、葉健雄教授(2011年–2017年7月)及現任的暫任院長石丹理教授(2017年7月至今)均致力建立學院成為一所既專業、又具有獨特色彩的醫療科學與社會科學的學習單位。繆朗濤教授於1995年至1996年接手出任醫療及社會科學院院長，致力促進學院與世界的接軌，加強學院所提供的課程的國際認受性。當時本學院眼科視光學專業文憑課程的畢業生，於澳洲可直接銜接當地的大學修讀碩士學位課程。憑藉各院長的觸覺與發展視野，帶領醫療及社會科學院建立了不少獨特的元素。舉例說，盧亦思博士於1977年至1995年出任為首任醫療服務學院院長，以及改組後的醫療及社會科學院院長，他於學院增設了日間給假部份時間調訓課程及夜校課程，令課程上課模式更具彈性，更能迎合當時的社會所需。With their hands-on approach and developmental vision, the former and current leaders have led the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences to create a number of distinct elements. For example, Dr Lewis, the first leader of the Institute of Medical and Health Care and later FHSS from 1977 to 1995, introduced the part-time day release programme (PTDR) and evening classes to the Institute to offer a more flexible mode of learning and to meet the needs of the community at that time. Prof Michel Millodot served as Dean of FHSS in 1995 to 1996 and strived to promote the competitiveness and recognition of FHSS academic programmes in the world. Graduates of the Professional Diploma in Optometry was able to study in the Master’s Degree programmes in Australia.醫療及社會科學院 < 歷史承傳

14Under the leadership of Prof Woo, the Faculty provided the government with support on the Primary Health Care Working Group for the implementation of Medical Development Services in the territory. is helped the Faculty to enhance the health care training clinics and service centres in different districts.在胡教授領導下，學院也支持政府在區內成立基層社區健康小組，以便在地方及社區推行醫療支援工作，學院往後也因此更廣泛地在社區建立以下的教學診所和服務單位，加深社會各階層對大學及學院認識。In parallel with health care education, Prof Woo guided the scientific research of the whole Faculty, so that each department could position itself and focus on strategic areas based on its capacity, community situation and international networks. A case in point is the global attention drawn to the School of Optometry’s research into myopia and the ageing eye. 另一方面，胡教授也指導各學系/學院的科研發展，就本身力量、社區情況及國際網絡作出定位，聚焦在一些策略性的領域，例如眼科視光學院集中進行近視、眼睛老化研究，成果皆為國際所重視。胡志城教授擔任院長前後10年(1997年-2004年及2008年-2011年)，塑造了學院的整合發展策略，並為醫療科學的專業性定位。胡教授積極鼓勵學生到中國內地實習，使學院在內地的名聲顯赫，又大力支持師生發展專業知識，使學院更獲重視。理大的醫療科學與其他高等學府不同的地方，就是不單是走向醫學專門知識，而是同時向護理發展，所以成果更為前線同事認同，如驗血等化驗工作，均廣受業界重視。此外學院亦支持政府推動護康知識在坊間流佈的策略。Prof George Woo, as Dean of the FHSS for about 10 years (1997 – 2004 and 2008 – 2011), formulated an integrative development plan for the Faculty and defined the professional position of health science. As the Dean, Prof Woo constantly encouraged students of the Faculty to participate in internships in the Chinese mainland, which gained the Faculty both fame and popularity. His tremendous support in developing the professional knowledge of both students and academic staff further promoted the Faculty’s status. e health science programme at PolyU differs from those at other tertiary institutes in developing medical care rather than specific medical knowledge. is direction and its outcomes are recognised by frontline health workers; for example, medical laboratory science training, such as conducting blood tests, has gained wide acceptance in the health sector. Moreover, the FHSS has been involved in providing the government with support on public health education.Decades of Success > Faculty of Health and Social Sciences

15Prof omas Wong, Dean of the FHSS from 2004 to 2008, stressed the importance of academic exchange and research for a tertiary institute, maintaining and upgrading its academic foundation and improving its education quality. Prof Wong encouraged the academic staff to participate in international academic conferences to enhance the Faculty’s academic standard. He also promoted overseas exchanges and visits to foster collaborations with other institutes, to enrich the profile of the Faculty and to pursue innovations and outstanding academic achievements.汪國成教授出任院長時，他認為開展學術交流及研究，乃一所高等學府維持及提高其學術水平之根本，亦是改進其教育質素不可或缺的元素。本此信念，汪教授積極鼓勵教職員參與國際學術會議，以提升學院的學術水平。通過進行海外參觀、交流，與海外的院校進行合作，累積經驗，創造新知，追求卓越學術成就。Prof Maurice Yap served as Dean of the FHSS from 2011 to 2017, during which time he promoted subject-based and interdisciplinary research. Prof Yap pointed out that the challenge facing the Faculty is to secure cross-professional development and interdisciplinary research collaborations to stay close to current trends in global research. e Faculty should make room for its academic staff to foster cross-professional and interdisciplinary development, which sharpens the competitive edge of both teaching staff and students and allows them to apply their knowledge and skills in the real world. To promote international education and research, the FHSS has not only set up a number of collaborative bases in the Chinese mainland, but has also fostered partnerships with universities around the globe.葉健雄教授於2011年至2017年出任醫療及社會科學院院長，於任內一直鼓勵學科及跨領域研究。葉教授認為學院須落實跨專業發展、跨領域研究的合作計劃，藉此緊隨全球的研究趨勢。所以，學院應該給予教職員跨專業、跨領域發展的空間，才能讓師生在國際上更有競爭力，且能學以致用。學院不單在中國內地成立了多個合作基地，也和全球多間大學建立了合作伙伴關係，藉此推動國際性的教學和科研工作。Prof Daniel Shek has served as the Interim Dean of the FHSS since July 2017. As an expert in promoting service leadership among university students, Prof Shek encourages FHSS students to engage in service-learning projects to help them become service leaders who can make changes to society through their professions. Prof Shek has also enabled the FHSS to develop meaningful collaborations with numerous community partners through his public service connections.石丹理教授於2017年7月起為醫療及社會科學院暫任院長。石教授為推展社會服務領袖教育的專家，曾多次於該範疇獲國際殊榮，鼓勵學院學生積極參與有意義的服務學習項目。此外，石教授亦領導學院與不同的社區機構組織合作，共同策劃推展多項大型社區活動。醫療及社會科學院 < 歷史承傳

It was jointly founded with the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, e Chinese University of Hong Kong, in 2007. e Centre’s 14 service units, in conjunction with the athletic and health science expertise and the facilities of the two universities, provides sports medicine and professional health care services for elite athletes and the general public. e Centre is also committed to promoting sports and health messages to the public. 香港賽馬會運動醫學及健康科學中心―獲得香港賽馬會慈善信託基金資助8,872萬元，與香港中文大學醫學院矯形外科及創傷學系於2007年共同合作成立。中心結合兩所大學的運動醫學及健康科學的專才與設施，編成14個服務單位，為精英運動員和市民提供運動醫學及醫護的專業服務，並致力向大眾推廣運動及健康訊息。Decades of Success > Faculty of Health and Social Sciences

17e Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 greatly increased the demand for physiotherapists for the Chinese national team. With the intention to meet this need, in 2006, the FHSS collaborated with the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Huazhong University of Science and Technology to offer the first Master’s degree programme in physiotherapy in the Chinese mainland to train local physiotherapists. e collaboration also included research on sports and health related topics. is resulted in the “Telehealth System”, which the national team members could use to monitor health conditions such as heart rate, blood pressure and pulse using self-help electronic devices. e data collected were then analysed by health professionals as part of the athletes’ health care in Hong Kong and overseas.學院得悉北京籌辦2008奧運會，認為國家隊對物理治療師的需求大增，遂於2006年支持康復治療科學系與華中科技大學合作，開辦當時全國第一個物理治療碩士課程，為內地培訓物理治療師。同時，研究運動及醫療關係的課題，並研發了「遠距健康系統」，讓國家隊運動員能夠透過電子自助體檢工具，自我量度心跳、血壓、脈搏等健康數據，讓醫護人員能夠根據數據進行分析及治療。e Faculty sent a team of physiotherapists and optometrists to Beijing to help the national sports team prevent and treat sports injuries, and to maintain their optimum physical fitness and shape during preparation and the competition periods. During the Games, over 50% of the physiotherapists serving in the Olympic Village were staff and graduates from the Faculty.學院更派出一支由物理治療及眼科視光學專家組成的團隊往北京，於備戰奧運及比賽期間，協助國家隊員預防及療理運動創傷，把身體及體態保持在最佳狀態。在北京奧運期間，選手村內服務的物理治療師，超過50%為學院教員和畢業生。醫療及社會科學院 < 歷史承傳

18As all parties were preparing for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a serious earthquake struck Wenchuan on 12 May in the same year, leading to huge casualties in Sichuan province. In response to the disaster, the FHSS formed a research and medical rescue team, sending its staff members to Sichuan to assist in relief and reconstruction. ose team members were mainly professionals from the following departments:• Department of Applied Social Sciences• Department of Rehabilitation Sciences• School of Nursing正當各方準備2008年北京奧運之際，同年5月12日發生汶川大地震，四川省出現重大的傷亡。地震過後，學院立即成立研究及醫療拯救小組，委派同事前往四川省，協助當地的救援及重建工作。當年參與救援及重建工作的團隊主要來自下列幾個領域：‧ 應用社會科學系‧ 康復治療科學系‧ 護理學院In 2013, PolyU and Sichuan University jointly founded Sichuan University – Hong Kong Polytechnic University Institute of Disaster Management and Reconstruction with the generous support from e Hong Kong Jockey Club.

19e Faculty was also aware of the urgent demand for professionals in animal care in Hong Kong. In February 2008, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Royal Veterinary College of the University of London in the UK. Co-organising with the College, the Faculty launched the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Veterinary Nursing in September 2010. e programme is the first Bachelor’s degree in veterinary nursing in Hong Kong. Most of the graduates of the programme have been employed in veterinary clinics or animal care institutions in Hong Kong and overseas.學院又注意到本港對動物護理的專業人才需求愈見殷切，遂於2008年 2月與英國倫敦大學皇家獸醫學院簽署合作備忘錄，並於2010年9月合辦全港首個動物護理學(榮譽)理學士學位課程，為業界培訓專業人才。課程畢業生大部份受聘於香港或海外的獸醫診所或動物護理機構。e Faculty also plays an active role as a community partner by contributing knowledge to the community. For example, it participated in the Kwai Tsing Safe Community and Healthy City Project to help promote safety and health concepts to the community. It also set up an Integrative Community Health Centre in which nursing staff provide health assessments, and optometrists provide diabetes screening and vision care services for senior citizens. e Faculty also worked with Kwun Tong Youth Outreach to set up a mobile station to provide check-ups and detailed analyses for young drug abusers and alcohol addicts.學院又積極擔當社區夥伴角色，以知識回饋社會。例如參與葵青安全社區健康城市計劃，將安全社區健康概念推動至社區，並在當區設立社區結合保健中心，由護理人員為長者提供健康檢查服務，並由眼科視光師提供驗眼、診斷眼疾。又與觀塘協青社合作，設立專車為濫藥、酗酒的青少年提供身體檢查及進行詳細的分析。醫療及社會科學院 < 歷史承傳

24DEPARTMENT OFAPPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES應用社會科學系 Decades of Success > Department of Applied Social Sciences

25e history of the Department can be traced back to 1973, when the Social Welfare Department of the Hong Kong government established the Institute for Social Work Training. In August 1977, the seven full-time staff members of the Institute were transferred to e Hong Kong Polytechnic to form the School of Social Work, which was independent from other departments and divisions. In the 1979/80 academic year, the School was incorporated into the Division of Applied Science. In 1987/88, as a result of restructuring the departments, the School of Social Work was renamed the Department of Applied Social Studies, and was combined with the Institute of Medical and Health Care to become the Division of Health and Social Studies. In 2000, the Department was further renamed the Department of Applied Social Sciences, a unit of the FHSS, to reflect its programme diversity.應用社會科學系的發展可追溯至1973年，當時香港政府社會福利署成立了社會工作訓練局。1977年8月，社會工作訓練局七位全職人員納入當時的香港理工學院，組成獨立於其他學系與部門的社會工作學院。1979/80年度，學院納入當時的應用科學部 。1987/88學年，香港理工學院重整學系架構，把社會工作學院命名為應用社會科學學系，並與醫療服務學院合組成醫療及社會科學學部。學系於2000年命名為「應用社會科學系」，為醫療及社會科學院轄下其中一個學系，藉此反映課程的多元化，學系的名稱遂一直沿用至今。應用社會科學系 < 歷史承傳

It places strong emphasis on nurturing professional knowledge and the application of theories, with the aim of responding to the social needs of the general public.應用社會科學系創系之初，即訂定「教育」、「研究」與「服務」的整合發展理念，強調專業知識的培育與理論實踐，並以提供能回應社會所需的公共服務為本。As the founding Head of Department in office from 1977 to 1987, Mr L.B. MacQuarrie successfully merged the Institute for Social Work Training under the Hong Kong Government with e Hong Kong Polytechnic. He introduced a series of full-time and part-time diploma and certificate programmes, and founded social work and pre-school education as two focal areas.創系系主任麥嘉理先生於1977年至1987年在任期間把政府社會福利署的社會工作訓練局合併到香港理工學院，並開設一系列的全職及兼讀制文憑及証書課程，奠定社會工作及幼兒教育的兩個聚焦服務領域。On its establishment, the School offered three programmes, namely:• Diploma in Social Work (2-year full-time)• Certificate in Child Care (1-year full-time)• Certificate of Proficiency for Instructors of Mentally Retarded Children (1-year part-time day release training)學系建立之初開辦了三個課程，包括：• 二年全日制社會工作文憑課程• 一年全日制幼兒工作訓練證書 課程 • 一年日間給假部份時間調訓制 弱智兒童導師訓練課程應用社會科學系 < 歷史承傳

28Decades of Success > Department of Applied Social Sciencese part-time day release training (PTDR), as its name suggests, targeted at full-time staff members of industrial, commercial and public organisations. e PTDR training mode was a collaborative initiative between large corporations and e Hong Kong Polytechnic for nurturing human resources. Under this training mode, employees were given a paid day-off to receive training, and spent two evenings a week attending lessons.日間給假部份時間調訓制課程對象為工商/公營機構的在職員工，是當年大機構和香港理工學院合作的培育人才模式，機構一般給員工每周一天帶薪假期上課，同時員工也每週花兩個晚上上課。In the 1978/79 academic year, the School introduced the 3-year PTDR Diploma Course in Social Work. In 1979/80 when the School was incorporated into the Division of Applied Science, it offered the 2-year PTDR Certificate Course in Child Care and introduced the Certificate of Proficiency Course in Work with the Mentally Handicapped. 學系於1978/79年度增設三年制日間給假部份時間調訓制的社會工作文憑課程。於1979/80年度，學系納入當時的應用科學部，並為幼兒工作訓練證書課程增設二年日間給假部份時間調訓制的授課模式，及弱智人士服務修業證書課程。及後又於1982/83年度，完善了社會服務的訓練課程，增辦了二年日間給假部份時間調訓制的社會服務證書課程(安老服務/住院服務/弱智人士服務)。In 1982/83, the School improved to provide social workers with all-round social service training, adding the 2-year PTDR Certificate Course in Social Service (Certificate in Social Service: Care of the Elderly, Residential Care, Care of the Mentally Handicapped) to the existing programmes.Decades of Success > Department of Applied Social Sciences

29In 1983, the Hong Kong government issued the White Paper on Social Welfare, laying out a long-term welfare policy for the territory, including the necessity of setting up a registration ordinance and a Bachelor’s degree requirement for social workers. To meet the White Paper policy, the School of Social Work was required to train a batch of qualified social workers with Bachelor’s degrees as soon as it could. Consequently, the School introduced the 2+2 full-time Bachelor of Social Work programme in the 1983/84 academic year. 香港政府1983年推出社會福利白皮書，制定長遠的福利政策，包括社工註冊和學位化的要求。為配合白皮書的政策，學系須全速訓練一批具備學位資格的社工，因此於1983/84學年開辦2+2年全日制社會工作學士學位課程。In 1987/88, following the restructuring of departments at e Hong Kong Polytechnic, the School of Social Work was renamed the Department of Applied Social Studies, and integrated with the Institute of Medical and Health Care to become the Division of Health and Social Studies. 1987/88年度，香港理工學院重整學系架構，把社會工作學系重新命名為應用社會科學系，並與醫療服務學院合組成醫療及社會科學學部。e Bachelor of Social Work programme was one of the five offered by e Hong Kong Polytechnic, targeting graduates of the Department’s Diploma in Social Work programme. e aim was to allow these graduates to meet the degree requirement in two years, to become fully qualified social workers with both solid social work experience and academic training. Apart from the Bachelor’s degree programme, the Department introduced the 4-year night-time Diploma in Social Work programme.According to Prof James K.C. Lee, the Head of Department of Applied Social Sciences from 2011 to 2015, the 2+2 study mode was brand new and unique at that time, as credit transfer from diploma programmes to a degree programme was first recognised. e degree programme mainly supplemented professional knowledge and training acquired through corresponding diploma programmes with basic social sciences training. 社會工作學士學位課程為當時香港理工學院推出的五個學士課程的其中一項。收生對象為學系的社會工作文憑畢業生，在其社會工作經驗的紮實基礎下，以兩年全職就讀時間，完成社會工作學位課程的要求，畢業後立即投入工作。除學士學位課程，學系又同時增辦了四年制的夜間社會工作文憑課程。開辦了四年制的夜間社會工作文憑課程。2011至2015年擔任系主任的李健正教授憶述，2+2模式當時獨一無二，因為學士學位課程認受了文憑課程作為修學內容。學士學位課程主要補充社會工作專業知識以外的基本社會科學訓練。應用社會科學系 < 歷史承傳

30At the beginning of the 1990s, the programmes offered by the Department became more full-fledged with the introduction of the Postgraduate Diploma Programme in Mental Health and the Postgraduate Diploma Programme in Student Guidance (in a long-distance learning mode) in 1989/90, and the Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) Degree programme for graduates of the first Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) in 1990/91. 踏入九十年代，學系提供的課程更趨完善。學系1989/90年度開辦了精神健康深造文憑課程、學生輔導深造文憑遙距課程，又於1990/91年度開辦了招收首屆高級程度會考畢業生的社會工作榮譽學士課程。Over these 10 years or so, the Department offered more than 10 degree and non-degree programmes to cater to the needs of society, ranging from social work and pre-school education to social policy and administration. is formulated a blueprint for the next wave of development. To match its name to its practice, the Department was renamed the Department of Applied Social Studies in 1987 and subsequently the Department of Applied Social Sciences in 2000.這十數年間，學系為了迎合社會需要，開辦了超過10個學位及非學位課程，課程涵蓋社會工作、學前教育、和社會政策及行政，為下一階段的發展，訂定了藍圖。為了名實相符，學院1987年重新命名為應用社會科學系，又於2000年把學院英文名稱改為Department of Applied Social Sciences。傅德枬先生於1987至1990年擔任系主任，期間推動課程改革，開辦了學士學位課程和四年制混合式社會工作學士學位課程，學生可以全職或兼讀制完成課程的全部學分並取得學位。Mr T.N. Foo, Head of Department between 1987 and 1990, promoted the reform of the programme, introducing a Bachelor’s degree programme and a 4-year blended-mode Bachelor of Social Work programme for students to earn their degree through full-time or part-time study.於1994年11月，香港理工學院正名為香港理工大學，而應用社會科學院於同年開辦了社會工作碩士課程。於2000/01年度提升社會工作文憑課程至高級文憑程度。2001/02學年及2002/03學年再分別增設三年全日制社會政策及行政(榮譽)文學士、二年全日制社會工作(榮譽)文學士。In November 1994, e Hong Kong Polytechnic assumed full university status and changed its name to e Hong Kong Polytechnic University. e Department launched the Master of Social Work programme in the same year. e Department upgraded the Diploma Course in Social Work to a Higher Diploma Course in Social Work in 2000/01. It also launched the 3-year full-time Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Social Policy and Administration programme and the 2-year full-time Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Social Work programme in 2001/02 and 2002/03, respectively.Decades of Success > Department of Applied Social SciencesDecades of Success > Department of Applied Social Sciences

31Development of unique approaches tosocial work education to nurture professionals for thesocial welfare sector發展獨有的社會工作教學模式，成社福界人才搖籃After years of exploration in learning and teaching, the Department developed a “special alternative social work paradigm” in its programmes. 學系經過多年的探索，發展出別具特色的「另類社會工作模式」課程。麥萍施教授合擔任系主任期間(1990–2004)，開創了一套富有特色的教學法，課程融合理論與實務，以西方學術理論為基礎，創造本地獨特的理論，培育具責任感公民意識，教導學生在反思中不忘道德、倫理和社會責任。學術專題研究以社會科學本土化和專業服務意識並重，從社區環境、醫療和福利事務等範疇，培養多元化人才。為配合社會福利改革和大學發展，將學科改革為學分制組合制，使課程更靈活，更多樣化。學系的學生到社區實習時，已甚獲社區組織的歡迎。Prof Diana P.S. Mak, Head of Department from 1990 to 2004, developed special learning and teaching approaches by integrating theory with practice in the curriculum. is allowed the programmes to derive unique theories of local situations from Western academic theories, which consequently fostered students’ civic awareness and sense of responsibility. Students were also able to include morality, ethics and social responsibility in their reflective thinking. In addition, academic case studies in the programmes emphasised both localisation of social sciences and knowledge of professional services, aiming to inculcate diverse capabilities in areas such as community situations, health care and social welfare. e Department also reformed the scheme-based system to a credit-based one, allowing for better programme flexibility and diversification to act in concert with social welfare reforms and PolyU development. All of these have gained undergraduates of the Department popularity as interns among community organisations. 應用社會科學系 < 歷史承傳

32To promote interdisciplinary research collaboration, Prof Mak centralised research funding for the seven units within the Department. e research output of the Department was often substantial and inspirational.為推動跨學科的科研合作，麥教授又將科研經費統一由系內七個部門共同使用，社會科學系的研究因而大幅攀升到80%，項目範疇豐富兼具啟發性。e Department has arranged student exchange tours and programmes with a number of universities in the Chinese mainland and overseas to foster students’ whole-person development and enrich their global perspective. ese tours and programmes attract more than 200 full-time and part-time students as well as alumni every year, thanks to the Department’s partnership with universities including the University of Nottingham in the UK, University of Queensland in Australia, University of California, Berkeley, and Washington University in St. Louis in the USA, York University in Canada and Peking University and Yunnan University in China, to name but a few.為了促進學生的全面發展及擴展他們的國際視野，學系與不少海內外大學合辦學生交流及國際交換課程。每學年都有超過200名全日制和兼讀制學生及校友參與不同的交流團和交換課程。學系亦與多所海內外大學建立伙伴關係，每學年進行交換生計劃，這些大學包括英國諾丁漢大學、澳洲昆士蘭大學、美國加利福利亞州大學柏克萊分校、聖路易斯的美國華盛頓大學、加拿大約克大學及中國的北京大學和雲南大學。Over the past 40 years, the Department has supplied more than 16,000 graduates for the social welfare sector in Hong Kong, amounting to 60% of the population of professional social workers in the territory. Our graduates are highly acclaimed among society for their theoretical knowledge base and practical skills. e Department is now a renowned academic institution for training social welfare educators and professional social workers in the Asia-Pacific region. 學系過去四十多年為香港社福界培育了16,000多名畢業生，佔全港專業社會工作者60%以上，畢業生的知識基礎和實務能力深受各界好評。現已成為亞太區知名的社會服務教育和專業社會工作人員訓練學術機構。學系在培育中國社會工作學者及專業人士亦成績斐然，於2000年和北京大學合辦社會工作碩士課程，至今共七屆的畢業生多達300人，他們現已成為內地高校社會教育和民政部分的管理層骨幹。It has also achieved tremendous success in nurturing Chinese social work scholars and professionals. In 2000, it co-offered with Peking University the Master of Social Work (China) programme. ere have been 7 cohorts of students so far, amounting to 300 graduates, who have become teachers of social work subjects at high schools in the mainland or core executive members of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.Decades of Success > Department of Applied Social Sciences

From offering programmes indiagnostic radiography to focusing oncultivating radiography and medical laboratoryscience professionals始於開辨放射診斷科的培育課程，現專注培育醫務化驗、放射學專才In the 1970s, radiography training was offered to meet the needs of Queen Mary Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Later, the number of hospitals increased and the government found that there was a shortage of technologists in radiography. As a result, programmes in radiography and diagnostic radiography were launched. 70年代，放射學的訓練是為應付瑪麗醫院和伊利沙伯醫院的運作需要，後來醫院數目增加，政府亦發覺放射技師供應不足，於是開設放射診斷和放射治療等相關課程。放射診斷課程一年開設兩班，每班10餘個學額。放射治療則視乎醫院需求而定，如在威爾斯親王醫院成立時便增設一班20個學額。當時的學員同時成為放射線技師學徒，通過英國的考試可獲專業資格。e programme in diagnostic radiography admitted two cohorts of 10 or so students each year, whereas the intake of students for the programme in radiation therapy depended on the demand of the hospitals. For example, the quota was increased to 20 per cohort at the opening of the Prince of Wales Hospital. Students back then also became radiography interns, who could gain professional qualifications by obtaining a pass grade in a UK examination.41醫療科技及資訊學系 < 歷史承傳

42Due to the continuous shortage of radiographers, the programme in diagnostic radiography was transferred to e Hong Kong Polytechnic in 1977, while the training in radiation therapy remained at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. e Hong Kong Polytechnic then offered a Higher Diploma Programme in Radiography and Higher Diploma Programme in Medical Laboratory Technique, laying the foundation for radiography and medical laboratory science. In the 1979/80 academic year, the 2-year full-time Diploma in Medical Laboratory Science and the 2-year evening-time Certificate in Diagnostic Radiography were added.由於畢業生仍不敷需求，1977年放射診斷科的培育課程便由醫院轉移到當時的香港理工學院，至於放射治療的訓練則仍然留在伊利沙伯醫院。學院當時開辦了放射治療高級文憑課程及醫務化驗技術文憑課程，放射學及醫療化驗科學的根基從此奠定。1979/80學年又增辦二年全日制醫務化驗科學文憑課程，及二年夜間制放射診斷學證書課程。In 1983, the higher diploma programmes were upgraded to professional diploma programmes with more substantial curricula. In the same year, the Department introduced a part-time Post-registration Certificate Course in Diagnostic Ultrasound. is served as a means of continuing education for working adults. In 1984/85, the 2-year evening-part-time Higher Diploma Course in Diagnostic Radiography was launched.學院於1983年再將課程內容整改充實，提升至專業文憑水平，取代了原有的高級文憑課程。同年，學系以兼讀形式開辦了超音波診斷學專修證書課程，為社會在職人士提供了進修途徑。1984/85年度，更開辦了二年夜間兼讀制的放射診斷學高級文憑課程。e Department of Diagnostic Sciences offered the 3-year Higher Diploma Course in Medical Laboratory Science in 1987 to prepare personnel for private and government-funded pathology laboratories. e programme was renamed as the Higher Diploma Course in Biomedical Science in 1996, with its Chinese title further renamed in the subsequent year. In 2001, the programme went on to introduce the 2-year self-financed Bachelor of Science (Honours) Programme in Biomedical Science.診斷科學系於1987年開辦了三年制醫務化驗科學高級文憑課程，主要為私人或政府資助的病理實驗室提供具專業資格的人才。1996年，課程整改為醫療科學高級文憑，翌年再改名為醫療生物科學高級文憑。2001年，課程更發展至開辦二年制的醫療生物科學(榮譽)理學士學位自資課程。In 1992, the Department of Diagnostic Sciences upgraded its Professional Diploma Course in Diagnostic Radiography to the 3-year Bachelor of Science Programme in Radiography, and further upgraded the Bachelor’s programme to Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Radiography in 1999.學系於1992年把放射診斷學專業文憑提升為三年制放射學學士課程。更於1999年提升課程為放射學(榮譽)理學士課程。Decades of Success > Department of Health Technology and Informatics

43In 1994, e Hong Kong Polytechnic was formally renamed e Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In 1995, the Jockey Club Rehabilitation Engineering Centre, which was under FHSS, successfully introduced the 3-year Bachelor of Science Programme in Prosthetics and Orthotics. In the same year, the Department admitted the first batch of postgraduate diploma graduates into its Master of Science degree programme.1994年，香港理工學院正名為香港理工大學。翌年，當時於醫療及社會科學院轄下的賽馬會復康科技中心，成功開辦了三年制的義肢矯形學學士課程。1995年，學系錄取首批深造文憑課程畢業生入讀理碩士學位課程。In early 1999, the institute, which used to provide the professional qualifying examination for radiographers, announced the transfer of the training to universities and subsequent cancellation of the professional examination. As a result, without a source for quality assurance and certification, hospitals in Hong Kong decided to gradually transfer the training of radiographers to universities. 到了1999年初，英國原來提供專業資格考試的學院宣佈將有關訓練轉交大學接手，且不再舉行考試。香港由醫院負責的放射治療再無考試可稽核，於是決定逐步轉交大學負責有關教育。剛好1994年香港理工學院正名為香港理工大學，政府又基於放射診斷已在理工開辦一段日子，決定將放射治療科也交由理大負責。政府當時的做法是將兩個學科合併。不過，兩科合併並沒有增加學額，而是將原本屬於放射診斷的70個學額分配其中20個給放射治療。Acknowledging the fact that e Hong Kong Polytechnic was upgraded to become e Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1994 and that diagnostic radiography programmes had been offered at the Polytechnic for a long time, the government decided to transfer its training in radiation therapy to PolyU. e government required the integration of diagnostic radiography and radiation therapy; however, the intake of students was not raised. Instead, 20 of the 70 places on the programme in diagnostic radiography were transferred to the programme in radiation therapy.醫療科技及資訊學系 < 歷史承傳

44e development of radiography met a roadblock in early 2000, when fewer than 10 out of 80 graduates landed a job. is situation occurred because although the government had requested an increase in the number of places on the radiography degree programme, hospitals in Hong Kong were trying to meet their urgent demand through overseas recruitment. erefore, before the graduation of those cohorts, the shortage of radiographers had already been solved. However, the situation changed in the next few years as a result of the expansion of existing private hospitals and the establishment of new private hospitals and medical centres.放射學教育的發展並非一帆風順。2000年代初期，曾有短暫時間80名畢業生中只有不足10人就業。當政府要求大學增加放射學學額時，醫院已同時透過外國招聘解決燃眉之急，待這些增加學額的學生畢業時，行業人手不足的問題亦早已解決。但往後數年，有很多私立醫院擴充和有新的私立醫院規劃，需求於是又有新的變化。In 2005, the programmes in medical laboratory science and radiation therapy were re-organised into the following four programmes offered by the Department of Health Technology and Informatics:• Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Engineering• Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Science • Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Medical Laboratory Science• Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Radiography.2005年，學院再次把醫療化驗及放射治療的課程重組成醫療科技及資訊學系，並開辦以下四個課程：• 生物醫學工程(榮譽)理學士學位；• 醫療生物科學(榮譽)理學士學位；• 醫療化驗科學(榮譽)理學士學位；及• 放射學(榮譽)理學士學位學系於1992年把放射診斷學專業文憑提升為三年制放射學學士課程。更於1999年提升課程為放射學(榮譽)理學士課程。Decades of Success > Department of Health Technology and Informatics

45Acknowledging the fact that e Hong Kong Polytechnic was upgraded to become e Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1994 and that diagnostic radiography programmes had been offered at the Polytechnic for a long time, the government decided to transfer its training in radiation therapy to PolyU. e government required the integration of diagnostic radiography and radiation therapy; however, the intake of students was not raised. Instead, 20 of the 70 places on the programme in diagnostic radiography were transferred to the programme in radiation therapy.e Department of Health Technology and Informatics subsequently developed its Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree programmes in medical laboratory science. e Department provides a steady supply of professionals in laboratory science at various levels through the above programmes.醫療科技及資訊學系及後再發展成醫療化驗科學的學士學位和碩士課程，為香港的醫療化驗行業培訓不同層次的專業化驗人才。As the saying “it takes 10 years to nurture a tree, but a 100 years to train a man” goes, more than 1,000 students have graduated from the Department. Many of them have become researchers and the next generation of scholars. Graduates of the Department are popular in related job markets, with a 100% employment rate for several years.常言道：「十年樹木，百年樹人」。學系至今已培育了千多名畢業生，更有不少校友投身學術研究，成為新一代的年青學者。學系的畢業生深受業界歡迎，就業率高達100%。醫療科技及資訊學系 < 歷史承傳

53康復治療科學系 < 歷史承傳Focusing continuously on theprofessional development of physiotherapy andoccupational therapy從開始至今聚焦物理治療、職業治療的專業發展e Department launched its first Higher Diploma Programme in Physiotherapy and Higher Diploma Programme in Occupational erapy in 1978. e two higher diploma programmes were further upgraded to professional diploma programmes in 1981. 康復治療科學系於1978年首辦物理治療和職業治療高級文憑課程。這兩項高級文憑課程於1981年提升為專業文憑課程。In the 1996/97 academic year, the Chinese title of Department of Rehabilitation Sciences was changed. In the same year, the Department admitted its first research degree student, reaching a milestone in its research development history.1996/97學年，復康治療學系易名為康復治療科學系，學系亦招收了首位研究生，為學系的科研發展奠下基石。金毅倫博士於1986 至 1992年出任系主任期間，把學系的主要課程從高級文憑提升至專業文憑水平。學系於1991年開辦的職業治療學及物理治療課程獲列入理學士學位課程。達沙利博士於1992 至 1995年擔任系主任，領導學系開辦本科課程。1992年成功開辦首項深造文憑課程，以組合方式分為三個主修，包括有：職業治療學、物理治療學及發展障礙人士康復課程。Dr Alan R. King, Head of the Department from 1986 to 1992, upgraded the Department’s core higher diploma programmes to professional diploma programmes. In 1991, the programmes in occupational therapy and physiotherapy were converted to Bachelor of Science degree programmes. Dr Baboo Dasari, Head of Department from 1992 to 1995, led to start offering undergraduate degree programmes. In 1992, the Department successfully launched its first Postgraduate Diploma Programme in Health Care. e programme was offered in a scheme-based mode with three majors: occupational therapy, physiotherapy and rehabilitation for people with developmental disabilities.

54In 1998, the Department’s two Bachelor’s degree programmes were successfully revalidated as honours degree programmes: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Occupational erapy and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physiotherapy. However, the Department faced a huge challenge – statistics obtained by the government revealed that the market need for personnel in occupational therapy and physiotherapy was small and was thus unable to absorb all graduates. erefore, the government requested that places for the programmes be drastically reduced to 100.1998年，學系成功整改兩個學士課程並通過評核，成為職業治療學(榮譽)理學士及物理治療學(榮譽)理學士課程。學系於該年遇到很大的挑戰，政府統計後認為市場對職業治療學及物理治療學人才需求不大，且認為未能吸納所有畢業生，所以要求大學裁減學生人數，招生人數於是大幅下降到100人。In 2001, the Department launched some self-financed advanced courses in rehabilitation sciences, with specialisations in manipulative physiotherapy, vocational rehabilitation and geriatric rehabilitation, followed by the sports physiotherapy specialisation in 2002.2001年，學系發展至開辦自負盈虧深造課程 — 醫療護理學深造組合課程，主修手法物理治療學、職業康復及老年康復治療學。2002年更增設運動物理治療學。In 2007, the Department successfully launched full-time Master’s degree programmes and attracted students from China, Japan, Malaysia, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Taiwan.2007年，學系成功開辦全日制碩士課程，並吸引了包括日本、馬來西亞、卡塔爾、中國、新加坡、斯里蘭卡等國家和台灣地區的學生前來報讀。In January 2012, PolyU launched the 2-year Master of Occupational erapy programme and the Master of Physiotherapy programme under the auspices of the Social Welfare Department to cope with the manpower shortage of occupational therapists and physiotherapists. Non-occupational therapy and non-physical therapy graduates can become practitioners after successful completion of these programmes.為應付職業治療師及物理治療師的人手短缺問題，理大於社會褔利署的資助下，於2012年1月推出為期兩年的職業治療學碩士學位及物理治療碩士學位的課程，讓非職業治療或物理治療的學士學位畢業生進修後執業。Decades of Success > Department of Rehabilitation Sciences

55In the 2013/14 academic year, to cater to the 3-3-4 education reform, the Department upgraded its Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Occupational erapy and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physiotherapy to 4-year programmes. Today, apart from the two Bachelor’s degree programmes, the Department offers research degrees and the following Master’s degree programmes:• Master of Science in Manipulative Physiotherapy• Master of Science in Occupational erapy• Master of Science in Rehabilitation of People with Developmental Disabilities• Master of Science in Rehabilitation Sciences• Master of Science in Sports Physiotherapy2013/14學年，學系為配合「334」學制，把職業治療學及物理治療學(榮譽)理學士學位課程提升至四年制課程。時至今日，學系除了繼續開辦以上兩個學士課程，同時開辦研究生課程及以下五個碩士課程：‧ 手法物理治療理學碩士學位 ‧ 職業治療學理學碩士學位 ‧ 發展障礙人士復康理學碩士學‧ 康復科學理學碩士學位‧ 運動物理治療理學碩士學位Despite the Department’s output of qualified physiotherapy graduates, there is still a huge shortage of registered physiotherapists in Hong Kong. Among only 2,700 registered physiotherapists, 90% are PolyU graduates, contributing to a ratio of fewer than 5 physiotherapists per 10,000 people in a total population of over 7 million. Such a ratio is extremely low compared with that in northern European countries (22 per 10,000 people). A similar shortage also applies to occupational therapists. e shortage has remained serious due to Hong Kong’s ageing population. erefore, the Department hopes to nurture more physiotherapists and occupational therapists who possess a global vision and research talents who are globally competitive to promote academic development.香港的註冊物理治療師是遠遠追不上需求的，現在的註冊物理治療師只有2,700人，而2,700人中，90%是理大畢業生。對比於有700萬人口的香港，一萬人中不足五名，是非常低的比率，職業治療師亦然。這個比率相比北歐國家相差很遠 (北歐一萬人中有22名物理治療師)；何況香港人口老化問題日趨嚴重，對治療師的需求將會愈來愈大，人手短缺問題更嚴重。學系期盼繼續為香港培養更多具國際視野的物理治療師和職業治療師的同時，也培育出一批具國際競爭力的科研人才，藉此推動學術發展。康復治療科學系 < 歷史承傳

562007年，學系成功開辦全日制碩士課程，並吸引了包括日本、馬來西亞、卡塔爾、中國、新加坡、斯里蘭卡等國家和台灣地區的學生前來報讀。In January 2012, PolyU launched the 2-year Master of Occupational erapy programme and the Master of Physiotherapy programme under the auspices of the Social Welfare Department to cope with the manpower shortage of occupational therapists and physiotherapists. Non-occupational therapy and non-physical therapy graduates can become practitioners after successful completion of these programmes.為應付職業治療師及物理治療師的人手短缺問題，理大於社會褔利署的資助下，於2012年1月推出為期兩年的職業治療學碩士學位及物理治療碩士學位的課程，讓非職業治療或物理治療的學士學位畢業生進修後執業。Developing a network of professionals topromote rehabilitation sciences建立專才網絡，推動復康科學e Department is strengthening its research in areas of East-meets-West rehabilitation sciences, neuroscience and neurological rehabilitation, orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation, and geriatric rehabilitation, besides fostering the integration of the research teams in each area. 康復治療學系未來的科研發展將強化以下四個研究範疇:中西薈萃之康復科學、腦神經科學和神經康復、骨骼肌肉及運動康復治療、長者康復治療，並促進各範疇研究團隊間的融合。As Head of Department, Prof Christina W.Y. Hui Chan led the Department in various initiatives in the 10 years between 1995 and 2005. She championed the foundation of the Centre for East-meets-West Rehabilitation Sciences in 1999, to promote the integration of Eastern and Western concepts in rehabilitation. She has also promoted East-meets-West rehabilitation sciences, which remains a key research area in the Department, in PolyU and the Chinese mainland. 許雲影教授1995至2005年擔任系主任的10年期間，領導學系作了多項創新，她推動中西醫結合康復治療的理念，除了前文提及於1999年在校內成立中西康復科學薈萃中心，並推動理大和中國內地中西薈萃之復康科學，至今仍是學系重點研究領域之一。Decades of Success > Department of Rehabilitation Sciences

57In addition, Prof Hui Chan has endeavoured to promote the internationalisation of the Department and the professionalisation of rehabilitation personnel. One initiative was the Pan-Pacific Conference on Rehabilitation, inaugurated in 1998. e biennial conference is one of the most important rehabilitation conferences in the Asia-Pacific region. In the last decade or so, the Conference has taken place in Hong Kong a number of times. e 10th Conference was hosted by the Department in Shanghai in 2016, with an estimated 1,000 attendants. e Conference attendants are mostly physiotherapists and occupational therapists as well as some physicians and social workers in the Pan-Pacific area.許教授推動學系的國際化及康復工作者專業化不遺餘力，她在1998年發起創辦首屆泛太平洋康復會議。這個每兩年舉辦一次的國際會議，是亞太區最重要的康復會議之一，過去10多年，多次在香港舉行，由學系承辦2016年在上海舉行的第十屆會議，參與人數達1,000人。參與者多為泛太平洋區的物理治療師和職業治療師，還有醫生及社會科學的社工。e Department has invested substantial resources in knowledge transfer. In 2006, the Department signed a collaboration agreement with five top-ranked tertiary institutes in the Chinese mainland to construct a network of rehabilitation education and key research. e five institutes were Beijing’s China Rehabilitation Centre (Capital Medical University), Wuhan’s Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Kunming Medical University, Nanjing Medical University and Guangdong Sport Hospital of Guangzhou’s Sun Yat-sen University. e Department has secured strategic partnerships with various universities and medical organisations worldwide. e partners have given high acclamation to PolyU’s programmes and have arranged for interested students to study in the Department.學系在知識轉移方面投放不少資源。2006年，學系與中國內地五所頂尖學府簽署合作協議，組織康復治療教育及重要研究網絡。五所學府分別為：北京中國康復研究中心 (首都醫科大學)、武漢華中科技大學、昆明醫學院、南京醫科大學、廣州中山大學及廣東體育醫院。康復治療科學系現在已經和世界多所大學及醫療機構建立了策略性合作伙伴關係。合作伙伴對理大的課程予以肯定，並安排學生慕名到學系學習。康復治療科學系 < 歷史承傳

58As a pillar of services for large projects為大型項目擔當服務支柱e Department integrates Chinese and Western knowledge, with its research strengths focused on the development of frontier technology in occupational therapy and rehabilitation sciences. It has also established advanced research facilities, a rehabilitation clinic and a remote rehabilitation clinic. 學系融合中西方的知識，集中科研力量發展職業和物理康復治療的前沿科技，又擁有先進的研究設備、康復治療診所和遙距康復治療中心。e Department has always completed important therapeutic missions in huge projects with its indubitable professional qualifications. Prof Chetwyn C.H. Chan, Head of the Department from 2005 to 2010, brought the impact of physiotherapy and occupational therapy to China by leading the Department to support the Beijing Olympics and reconstruction of earthquake-stricken Sichuan province.由於學系的專業資格無容置疑，屢次為大型項目擔當重要的治療任務。陳智軒教授於2005至2010年擔任系主任期間，領導學系支援中國主辦奧運及四川大地震災後重建，把物理治療及職業治療的影響帶到中國。Since 1978, the Department has nurtured numerous outstanding physiotherapists and occupational therapists, amounting to 90% of the professional sectors. e professional qualifications of the Department’s graduates have gained immense international recognition. For example, physiotherapy graduates are eligible to become practitioners in Hong Kong and the UK upon direct registration as physiotherapists with the professional physiotherapist boards. Occupational therapy graduates, given the exemption of examination, are eligible to become practitioners in Hong Kong, the UK, Australia and Singapore upon registration with the occupational therapists boards.自1978年起為業界培育大量優秀的物理治療師及職業治療師，佔香港這一專業工作者的90%。畢業生的專業資格均獲國際認可，物理治療畢業生均可直接在香港和英國的物理治療師專業委員會註冊後在當地執業。職業治療師則可向香港、英國、澳洲及新加坡的職業治療師管理委員會申請註冊，並且豁免考試，註冊後即可在上述地區執業。Decades of Success > Department of Rehabilitation Sciences

59e International Olympic Committee set the requirement that the host country of the Olympic Games must have adequate internationally qualified physiotherapists. For Beijing to fulfil this requirement for the 2008 Olympics, the Department cooperated with Tongji Medical College of Wuhan Huazhong University of Science and Technology to launch a Master’s degree programme in physiotherapy in 2004. e programme trained 108 local graduates, who not only provided support to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but have also assumed important positions in major hospitals or medical schools in the mainland.國際奧林匹克運動委員會要求籌辦奧林匹克運動會的國家必須提供足夠的國際認可物理治療師，為了配合北京2008年申辦奧運時滿足這一要求，學系於2004年與武漢華中科技大學的同濟醫學院合作開辦物理治療碩士課程，培養了108位畢業生，這些畢業生不單支援2008年的北京奧運會，目前且在內地主要醫院和醫學院擔任要職。During the 2008 Olympics, the Department joined the Faculty’s initiative to support the Chinese national team and engaged in facilitating injury prevention and rehabilitation for national athletes in China. At the Olympic Village, the Department’s physiotherapy experts were appointed team therapists for the Chinese national team. In addition, the Department sent 15 volunteers, including 7 graduates, 6 year-three students and 2 year-two students, to provide physiotherapy services for athletes in the stadiums.除了北京奧運會的支援，學系亦協助中國的運動員預防傷患和受傷之後的治療。當時奧運會選手村的物理治療中心，理大的專家團隊都曾被委任為國家選手隨隊治療師。學系安排支援北京奧運會的義工更多達15人，包括七名畢業生、六名三年級學生及兩名二年級學生，在奧運場內為運動員提供物理治療服務。PolyU offered physiotherapy services to the athletes at the Olympics Games. e physiotherapy centres operated by the Department at the Olympic Village were genuinely a world without borders, as any athlete of any country could seek help from the variety of professional health care teams at the centre. 當時奧運會選手村的物理治療中心，無分國界，裡面有很多不同的專業團隊，任何國家的選手也可以在治療中心得到協助。康復治療科學系 < 歷史承傳

60Prof Gabriel Y.F. Ng was the Head of Department from 2011 to 2017. Prof Ng worked hard to maintain the educational and research leadership that had been established in the Department for many years. He also led the Department to provide professional rehabilitation support for the community.吳賢發講座教授於2011年至2017年6月期間擔任系主任，吳教授努力維持學系多年所建立的教育及科研領導地位，並帶領學系為社區提供專業康復治療支援。In 2012, Prof Ng promoted the Department to cooperate with the Social Welfare Department and launched two Master’s degree programmes. e Social Welfare Department provided full funding for prospective students of occupational therapy and physiotherapy. After graduation, they could serve in non-governmental organisations. is move has helped to nurture new occupational therapists and physiotherapists for the community to alleviate the manpower shortage in the market.2012年，吳教授推動學系與社會福利署合作推出兩個碩士準入課程，由社會福利署提供全額資助予準職業治療學/物理治療學碩士課程學生，待他們完成課程後投身非政府機構，為社會培育新晉的職業治療師及物理治療師，以舒緩市場人手不足的問題。Prof Hector W.H. Tsang assumed the role of Head of Department in July 2017. He will continue to lead the development of the Department with a focus on teaching, research and services. Prof Tsang is also planning to upgrade the academic programmes and facilities of the Department to provide the best teaching and learning environment for staff and students.曾永康教授於2017年7月成為系主任，將繼續以教學、科研和服務為學系發展核心。曾教授計劃益善現有的學術課程及教學設備，讓師生享用一個最理想的教學環境。Decades of Success > Department of Rehabilitation Sciences

61After the earthquake on 12 May 2008, Wenchuan in Sichuan Province was in grave need of medical and health care assistance. Teaching staff of the Department took the lead to visit the affected area for relief work. With subsidies from the Hong Kong government, Hong Kong Red Cross and Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Department sent a physiotherapy and occupational therapy team formed by its students to assist the Red Cross in establishing a rehabilitation centre and in training local physiotherapists and occupational therapists.四川汶川大地震發生於2008年5月12日，當時最要緊是救死扶傷。地震過後，康復治療科學系老師率先到災區援助。當年得到香港特區政府、香港紅十字會和香港賽馬會慈善信託基金三方資助，學系派出由學生組成的物理治療及職業治療團隊直接支援紅十字會在地方設立災後康復中心，並訓練當地的職業治療師。PolyU offered physiotherapy services to the athletes at the Olympics Games. e physiotherapy centres operated by the Department at the Olympic Village were genuinely a world without borders, as any athlete of any country could seek help from the variety of professional health care teams at the centre. 當時奧運會選手村的物理治療中心，無分國界，裡面有很多不同的專業團隊，任何國家的選手也可以在治療中心得到協助。One of the many priorities of the reconstruction project was to fully train a batch of physiotherapists and occupational therapists. To this end, the Department and Sichuan University adopted the train-the-trainers mode, jointly launching Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree programmes in 2009 and 2013, respectively. PolyU sent its teaching staff to Sichuan to teach, and local students travelled to PolyU to learn to teach occupational therapy and physiotherapy. In the second academic year, professional subjects such as anatomy and psychology, accounting for 70% of the curriculum, were still taught by PolyU professors, whereas the remaining 30% of the programmes were taught by academics of Sichuan University. e first batch of Master’s degree students graduated in 2016.援助災區重建首要工作之一，是培養一批物理及職業治療師。康復治療學系和四川大學合作採取培訓導師模式，合辦本科及研究生課程，由理大老師到四川負責教學，而學生則到理大學習如何教授職業治療和物理治療。第二學年開始，專業學科繼續由理大教授任教，包括解剖及心理學，佔課程約70%，而部份課程則由四川大學教師任教，佔課程約30%。合辦的課程包括於2009年開辦學士學位課程及2013年開辦碩士學位課程。首批碩士課程學生已於2016年畢業。康復治療科學系 < 歷史承傳

SCHOOL OF NURSING護理學院 Decades of Success > School of Nursing62

63護理學院 < 歷史承傳e School of Nursing, together with the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Department of Health Technology and Informatics, originated from the Institute of Medical and Health Care established in 1978. In the 1987/88academic year, e Hong Kong Polytechnic underwent departmental reform and divided the Institute into three departments: Department of Diagnostic Sciences, Department of Health Sciences, and Department of Rehabilitation Sciences. e three departments then combined with the Department of Applied Social Studies to form the Division of Health and Social Studies. e Department of Health Sciences was assigned to manage nursing programmes during that period. In 1997, the Department was renamed the Department of Nursing and Health Sciences. In 2002, it was further renamed the School of Nursing during another departmental reform. As its name suggests, the School focuses on providing nursing programmes.護理學院的發展史與康復治療科學系、醫療科技及資訊學系一樣，也是從1977年成立的醫療服務學院開始。1987/88學年，香港理工學院重整學系架構，把醫療服務學院分拆為三個學系：診斷科學系、醫療科學系和復康治療學系，並與應用社會科學學系合組成醫療及社會科學學部。護理課程納入醫療科學系管理。1997年，醫療科學系改名為護理及醫療科學系。及至2002年，學系重整後改名為護理學院，專注提供護理學相關課程，學院的名稱遂沿用至今。

To excel in nursing research for thewell-being of mankind創新護理研究，惠澤全人In its 40-year history, the School’s endeavours in research, and learning and teaching have paid off enormously. During the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong in 2003, the School continued to support hospitals, which were in a grave need of nurses. Under the leadership of Prof omas Wong, Head of School, students of the School volunteered themselves to support operations in hospitals, after signing voluntary the consent forms. ey also went into communities to explain to the public about the protective measures that could be taken against the disease. Meanwhile, the School conducted studies on infection control. e devotion of the teachers and students during that period enriched their clinical experience. e School’s students and staff displayed their selflessness and professionalism during the SARS outbreak.護理學院經過30年奮鬥，教學、科研方面皆取得了豐碩的成果。2003年香港爆發沙士疫症，醫院前線需要大量護士照顧病人，當時在系主任汪國成教授帶領下，學生無懼風險，自願簽下同意書到醫院支援運作，又到社區向公眾講解防護知識。學院同時做了很多有關感染控制的研究，師生積極參與，取得寶貴的臨床經驗。沙士一役，見證了學院培養的人才於專業知識外更有無私的奉獻精神。e School has always been devoted to the local community. For example, as a collaborator in the Kwai Tsing Safe Community and Healthy City Project, the School helped to promote safety and health concepts to the community. It also worked with Kwun Tong Youth Outreach in setting up a mobile station for check-ups and detailed analyses for young drug abusers and alcohol addicts. Following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the team led by Prof Samantha M.C.

Patients and their health problems are holistically treated through the integrative use of conventional Eastern and Western health care modalities, complementary therapies and health assessment services. Patients with chronic diseases are then treated physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. In 2008, the Squina International Centre for Infection Control began operation. e Centre for Gerontological Nursing established in 2012 became a member of the National Hartford Centers of Gerontological Nursing Excellence in the USA in 2014. In 2012, with sponsorship from the Tai Hung Fai Charitable Foundation, the School launched the PolyU – Henry G. Leong Mobile Integrative Health Centre, which was converted from a truck. With its advanced equipment, the Centre provides free check-ups for the elderly. It also supports learning and teaching, research and community service, through which students can conduct their clinical practice while researchers can directly carry out research on community development. 學院又不斷成立相關中心推動科研。2003年成立結合保健診所，以整全健康理念為本，結合中西護理、輔助治理及保健服務，以同時關顧患者的身、心、社、靈的手法，治理慢性病；於2008年開始營辦雪肌蘭國際感染控制中心；2012年成立耆年護理中心，該中心於兩年後成為美國National Hartford Centers of Gerontological Nursing Excellence的成員；同年，學院獲得大鴻輝慈善基金贊助，改裝了一輛貨車並成立了梁顯利流動結合保健中心，車上配備了先進儀器，為有需要的長者免費檢查身體。保健中心同時支援教學、科研及社區服務，供學生臨床實習又可讓研究人員直接進行社區發展研究。護理學院 < 歷史承傳

83In response to collaborative promotion by institutions and the industry, the government introduced legislation for the sector in 1996, in which the 1,200 optometrists were categorised into four classes. Part I optometrists include holders of the Bachelor of Science Degree in Optometry awarded by PolyU; they are legally permitted to provide prescriptions and perform diagnoses. Part II optometrists include holders of the Higher Certificate in Optometry issued by e Hong Kong Polytechnic. Part III and Part IV optometrists are required to have passed an examination. 在學院和業界的共同推動下，香港政府於1996年立例，將業界（共1,200名眼科視光師）分為四個註冊名冊部分。理大視光學系的學士畢業生為第一部分，獲准使用委員會批准的藥物及做診斷；第二部分為香港理工學院頒發的高級證書持有者；第三、四部分則需要考試認證。Graduates of the School have often been elected Chairperson of the Hong Kong Society of Professional Optometrists, which has formed a partnership with the School in developing the optometric sector and relevant regulations.香港眼科視光師學會的領導多由理大視光學畢業生擔任。學會和視光學院的關係良好，對視光行業發展和行規的制訂亦不遺餘力。In 2000, the Department’s Chinese title and degree programme were further renamed; the English names remained the Department of Optometry and Radiography and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Optometry. In the 2005/06 academic year, after departmental restructuring, the Department became the School of Optometry. It is the only University to offer a Bachelor’s degree in optometry in the territory. In 2011, the School launched the Master of Science Programme in Optometry. In 2012, it launched the Doctor of Health Science Programme in Optometry.

All graduates are required to undergo clinical practice during the five semesters in the fourth and fifth years of the programme, and they must be assessed and confirmed as ‘Qualified’ before they can graduate. e School’s optometry programmes are therefore rated as excellent, and have won recognition from the Australian government in its qualification framework. 由2005年開始，眼科視光學院所有課程成功轉型為治療訓練，每名畢業生需於修讀課程的第四及第五年，分別於五個學期中進行臨床實習，並必須於評核中合格，方可畢業。眼科視光學課程因此獲評定為優秀課程，更獲澳洲政府承認資歷。Graduates from the 2009 cohort onwards can apply directly for an optometric therapeutic licence in Australia. e School also attaches importance to multi-lateral exchanges for its students, and since 1987 it has been sending students on exchange programmes to enrich their knowledge and experience other cultures in mainland China, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. e School places great emphasis on nurturing local scientists. Most young scholars at the School are indeed its graduates, some of whom have acquired further education overseas and then returned to their alma mater to continue the School’s efforts in nurturing future optometrists.由2009年起，理大的畢業生可以直接考取澳洲的眼科視光師牌照。學院很注重學生的多元交流互動，自1987年起，學生能長期跟內地、加拿大、澳洲和新西蘭等展開交流，增廣見聞，學習不同地區文化知識。學院也十分重視訓練本土專家，目前眼科視光學院有很多年青學者都是學院培養的畢業生，他們出國深造後，學有所成再回母校培育人才。Decades of Success > School of Optometry

85Eye care education and blindness prevention in the community照顧基層眼睛健康，教育社區，護眼防盲In the 1980s, the School started to promote the “optometric check-up” to educate the public about eye care. e School also performed simple vision tests for citizens to identify vision problems as early as possible. e campaign included activities such as seminars, and eye and oral check-ups for students in cooperation with dentists, to name a few. e promotion even extended outside Hong Kong; for example, the School has provided regular eye examinations and education about eye care for victims of the Sichuan earthquake, and people in Vietnam and many provinces in China including Xinjiang.自80年代起，學院在全港社區推廣「眼科普查」計劃，向社會帶出護眼常識，又為大眾做簡單的視力測試，以及早發現視力問題。計劃包括舉辦講座、與牙醫合作一起為學生檢查眼睛和牙齒等。又於香港以外的地區開展護眼運動，例如為四川災民提供眼睛護理的教育與協助，於越南、新疆等地區推展護眼普查健康活動等。e School has established teaching and learning platforms to collect research data through general eye care services. To encourage more non-optometry students to serve the community, the School offers eye care services training to participants every semester. In 2015, 360 non-optometry students were trained to provide 15,000 beneficiaries with the services. e School has also collaborated with 16 primary schools under Tung Wah Group of Hospitals to teach eye care knowledge and basic eye examination techniques to students. Students then regularly have simple vision tests at points set up in the school to identify vision problems as early as possible.學院透過普查服務建立教學平台，蒐集研究數據。為讓更多非眼科視光學系的學生能夠參與普查活動，視光學系每個學期均開設護眼普查服務培訓，提供一些護眼普查的訓練給學生。2015年共有360個非眼科視光學系的學生參與這項活動，服務人次達到15,000人。眼科視光學院也和東華三院轄下16間小學合作，向學生講解護眼常識和驗眼基本方法，在學校設點讓學生定期做簡單的視力測試，以便及早發現視力問題。眼科視光學院 < 歷史承傳

86e Hong Kong Polytechnic founded its optometric clinic as early as 1985, supporting relevant education, clinical practice and research. Since 2000, the optometric assessment pointat Tsing Yi, the optometric clinic (in collaboration withOur Lady of Maryknoll Hospital) at Wong Tai Sin, the Integrative Community Health Centre at Lai King and the Sik Sik Yuen – PolyU Optometry Centre have been founded. In 2014, the optometry research clinic was established not only to provide a platform for scientific research and clinical practice, but also to further reinforce the research strength in optometry and vision science. Teaching and learning are considered to complement each other.早於1985年，香港理工學院已成立眼科視光學診所，為教學實習和科研提供全面的支援。2000年後分別在青衣設立眼科評估站，與黃大仙聖母醫院合作成立眼科視光診所，於荔景開設眼科視光診所服務中心，以及與嗇色園合辦眼科視光診所。2014年又成立了眼科視光學研究診所，不但為科研和臨床提供了平台，而且進一步加強眼科視光學院的科研實力，可謂教與學相長。Decades of Success > School of OptometryDecades of Success > School of Optometry

87In 2017, with the support of the “Vision of Love Fund”, the School launched the “Vision of Love Mobile Eye Care Project” and purchased a seven-seater vehicle equipped with ophthalmic optometry equipment. e School has further extended its eye care outreach service in various districts by providing visual screening services for people in need. is project is expected to benefit about 20,000 people in its first two years of operation.2017年，學院於「看見愛基金」的支持下更啟動「看見愛流動護眼計劃」，為計劃添置一輛配備眼科視光檢查器材的七人車，以外展形式進一步把護眼服務拓展至全港各區，為有需要人士提供視覺篩查服務，預計計劃首兩年可惠及近20,000人次。In 2014, in support of PolyU’s mission to nurture civic responsibility in students, the School launched a Service-Learning subject for all PolyU students – Learning through Providing Eye Care and Vision Health to the Community. e subject aims to prevent blindness among school children, the elderly, low-income families, people with disabilities and mental difficulties, ethnic minorities and the general public, through providing eye tests and eye care activities in the community. Over 16,000 people have benefited. e School’s students also provide services for people in the Chinese mainland, Cambodia, Vietnam and so on. 為支持大學培育具社會責任的公民，學院於2014年推出可供全校學生修讀的服務學習科目「眼睛護理及視覺健康在社區」。透過於社區進行眼睛篩查及護眼活動，以推展防盲為目標，服務對象為學童、長者、低收入家庭、傷健人士、智能障礙人士、少數族裔及市民大眾，受惠者現已超過16,000人，除了服務本地居民，學生更為內地、柬埔寨及越南有需要人士提供服務。眼科視光學院 < 歷史承傳

88Focused research for life-long eye health聚焦科研，讓人類於有生之年皆擁有健康視力Prof Michael Millodot (1990 –1995) and Prof Marion Edwards (1995 – 1997), in their capacity as Head of School, nurtured a great research culture and led the academic staff to conduct research on certain focused areas. is resulted in a gradual increase in research publications on myopia. Prof George Woo became Head of School again from 1997 to 1998, and later the Dean of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences (1997 – 2004). He affirmed myopia and the ageing eye as strategic focused research areas.繆朗濤教授 (1990–95)及艾綺華教授 (1995–97)擔任系主任期間，營造了很好的研究文化，引導老師作聚焦研究，近視研究開始初見成果。胡志城教授於1997–98年再次擔任系主任，並同時擔任醫療及社會科學院院長(1997–2004)，為學院策略性聚焦近視和眼睛老化研究的領域。For several years, the School has been developing in a strategic and focused manner, and consequently it now plays a leading role in the academic field and is internationally recognised both for its teaching and research. e School’s current research mainly focuses on myopia prevention (around 60%) and the ageing eye (around 40%). With a clear vision and wise use of resources, the School has achieved great success and an immense output of research on myopia and glaucoma, winning high acclamation in the field. With the leadership and support of Prof George Woo, Prof Michel Millodot, Prof Marion H. Edwards, Prof Maurice Yap, Prof Carly S.Y. Lam and Prof To Chi-ho in their capacity as Head, the School has established an international reputation and collaborative network through research with universities in countries including Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA. e network benefits all participating parties in their specific areas and creates a flexible platform for sharing their research.學院多年來聚焦提升科研實力，無論教學或科研都手執學界牛耳，且享譽全球。主要研究重點為近視預防 (約佔60%)，和眼睛老化研究(約40%)。由於目標清晰，資源配合得宜，近視病和青光眼研究方面均取得豐碩的成果，享譽同儕。在胡志城教授、繆朗濤教授、艾綺華教授、葉健雄教授(1998–2007)、林小燕教授(2007–2013)及杜嗣河教授(2013至今)擔任系主任時的領導下，讓學院通過研究建立國際聲譽和國際合作網絡，分別和澳洲、加拿大、英國和美國等國家著名大學合作，各取所長，不斷提升科研層次和水平，靈活建構科研共享平台。e Hong Kong Polytechnic founded its optometric clinic as early as 1985, supporting relevant education, clinical practice and research.

89Glaucoma is one of the leading cause of blindness. However, apart from knowing that the disease is associated with eye pressure, medical experts know little about its root cause. e School’s research team presented a major finding in relation to glaucoma regarding the formation of aqueous humour and its regulatory mechanism. e finding was subsequently published in an academic journal in 1998. e team’s research findings on myopia have won recognition from authoritative international bodies. In 2002, the team was ranked second in the world by an international panel. e team has also advanced orthokeratology, a technique in which the cornea is progressively reshaped using specially made contact lenses, thereby reducing children’s myopia. 青光眼為致盲的其中一個原因，目前醫學界仍未找到病危致盲的機制，只知道與眼壓有關。眼科視光學院科研團隊於1998年發表學術論文，發現青光眼的前房水分泌維持機制。眼科視光學院科研團隊對香港的近視研究成果，亦屢獲國際權威認可，於2002年更獲國際機構評為世界第二最優秀團隊。研究團隊發現角膜矯形術能有效減慢兒童近視加深。眼科視光學院 < 歷史承傳

90In addition, the team invented the Defocus Incorporated Soft Contact (DISC) lens, which effectively slows down myopia growth. is invention was supported by the Sek-J in Chew Travel Grant of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology in 2005, and won two other prizes in 2011: the Grand Prize of e Technical University of Cluj-Napoca-Romania and the Gold Medal with Jury’s Commendation in the 39th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva.團隊又發明了「光學離焦」(DISC)軟性隱形眼鏡，有效放緩近視增長，此發明於2005年獲視覺與眼科研究協會Sek-J in Chew Travel Grant資助，更獲得2011年羅馬尼亞克盧日納波卡科技大學 頒授特別大獎，以及於第39屆瑞士日內瓦國際發明展中獲得評審團特別嘉許金獎。Researchers of School of Optometry developed the Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) spectacle lens and won the Grand Prix award for being the best invention of the whole exhibition, the Prize of the Legal Company “Gorodissky & Partners” – Russia, and a Gold Medal with the Congratulations of the Jury at the 46th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva in April 2018.眼科視光學院研究人員研發「多區正向光學離焦」(DIMS)眼鏡鏡片，於2018年4月舉行的第46屆國際發明展中奪得全場總冠軍、特別大獎(由俄羅斯”Gorodissky & Partners”頒贈)，以及評判特別嘉許金獎三項大獎。Decades of Success > School of Optometry

91Research on progressive lenses and bifocals has also made remarkable achievements. As early as 1996, our research team had already published journal articles on related topics. Other research teams in countries such as the USA, Singapore and Taiwan made use of our research output, while research institutions from countries such as Australia, the USA and the UK have collaborated with us. Nobel Prize Laureate and former President of e Rockefeller University, Prof Torsten Nils Wiesel, has expressed great attention and highly complimented our research contributions.漸進近視與雙光眼鏡研究亦取得驕人成果。學院的研究團隊早在1996年已發表相關學術論文。美國、新加坡和台灣等地的研究團隊採用學院的研究成果；澳洲、美國和英國等研究機構亦為學院合作伙伴。洛克菲勒大學校長，諾貝爾得獎者托斯坦•威澤爾教授，對學院的研究成果深表讚賞。Prof Chi-ho To, the current Head of School, hopes the School will continue to achieve the betterment of mankind. is includes achieving better control of myopia, so that everyone can enjoy life-long good eye health and no longer be troubled by problems such as progressive myopia, glaucoma and retinal detachment. He also hopes to see more of the School’s research transformed into application. e research team not only improves the inventions made by others, but also has the courage to implement its own inventive research.學院主任杜嗣河教授期望眼科視光學院能繼續為人類謀福祉，包括控制近視，讓每個人於有生之年都可以保持良好視力，不再被青光眼，白內障，視角膜脫落等問題所困擾。他更加希望學院能夠將科研轉化為應用，不只改良他人的研究，更勇於多作創新研究。眼科視光學院 < 歷史承傳
