The CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing was established in 2014 with the generous donation of HK$12 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, which also covered its operation cost for the first 5 years.Prof. Jean Woo, also Director of the Trust’s CADENZA Project, has been appointed as the Director of the Institute. The Institute is actively pursuing community outreach initiatives, research projects and training programmes which contribute to overcoming the challenges brought by the ageing population in Hong Kong.
Over the years, our geriatricians have a dual role in the Hospital Authority to look after elderly patients in hospitals which enable delivery and evaluation of pilot researches involving patients. New quality improvement initiatives have been introduced which resulted in change in service delivery in areas such as using telemedicine to support residential care homes and applying restraint free reduction in the hospital setting.CUHKs cooperation with charitable organizations also provides opportunities for research in delivering community projects. For instance, programmes and service models in end of life care and chronic disease management under the CADENZA project have stimulated research studies in tandem with the projects. The CADENZA Training Programme run by the Nethersole School of Nursing of CUHK has trained and raised awareness of the public on wide-ranging issues of ageing population, which could in turn stimulate future research on ageing.
