Message from Chief Executive Officer 

Dear Colleagues, 

We have made another step forward in achieving the aspiration of “Care. For Good.”. Riding on the World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week, we rolled out a collection of activities, including online games, video clips and educational talks, to promote the responsible use and prescription of antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs among staff and the general public. AMR is relevant to all of us and requires a collective effort. I urge you to disseminate the relevant knowledge to your friends and family to help reduce the spread of AMR together.   

Thank you for your active participation in the Pulse Survey 2023 which earned a 92% response rate locally. Your feedback, which is being looked into, will give us useful insights into how effective the different people initiatives have been in meeting staff’s expectations, and how we may do better. Meanwhile, I hope you have had the chance to watch the latest episode of Speak Your Mind in which I shared the various initiatives that had been or will be implemented in response to your and patients’ needs. Your views and thoughtful ideas are important to us, so please keep them coming and we will consider them seriously.  

Those of you who joined us at the recent Town Hall meeting should have acknowledged that our hospital continues to be in a growth mode through further strategising our services and developing our service network. Some of these efforts include the opening of Ward 1A earlier this month, the new and expanded Dialysis Centre which will raise our capacity, and the second Gleneagles Healthcare clinic planned to be opened in the Southern district in early 2024. 

Despite that we are gradually growing into more than a hospital to serve a wider community, it is important that we continue to work and collaborate as one cohesive team. One of the success factors that has helped GHK reached where it is today is great teamwork. This spirit will remain pivotal to fuelling our further growth. I look forward to your continued support to help the Gleneagles brand go further.  



Warm regards,

Promoting Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness


To help raise public understanding and awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), an array of activities was staged at GHK during the World AMR Awareness Week. The initiatives were complemented by a social media series which aimed to engage members of the public. 
 

Interactive online game to help enrich staff's understanding of AMR and educational talks
in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies.
 

Online stewardship courses and webinar by IHH Healthcare were offered to deepen staff’s understanding and proficiency in managing the effective use of antimicrobial drugs. 

 
“The responsible use of antibiotics”


Educational video clips featured some of the common misconceptions about antibiotics
and the responsible use of drugs.

 
A note of thanks to our doctor and colleagues from Health Screening Clinic, Infection Prevention and Control, Pharmacy and Radiology for their participation in the filming of the videos. 
Efforts in sustainable development and occupational safety and health recognised 

GHK has recently garnered the Silver Award of the Sustainable Innovation Award hosted by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong in recognition of our outstanding effort in achieving sustainable development through leveraging innovations. 

Separately, our work in promoting a safe and healthy workplace was commended with the Merit Award by the Occupational Safety and Health Council's 22nd Hong Kong Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Award scheme. 


  

GHK welcomes IHH Board of Directors


 

Earlier this month, GHK was privileged to welcome Chairman of IHH Healthcare, Tan Sri Mohammed Azlan bin Hashim, IHH Healthcare Board Members, and Group CEO Dr Prem Kumar Nair. GHK took the opportunity to introduce to the delegation the hospital’s key facilities and services, some of the recent development of Gleneagles in Hong Kong, and the teams at the hospital and network clinics.  
 

  
 

Town Hall meeting - Looking back and ahead



Over 90 staff gathered for the recent Town Hall meeting to hear updates on the hospital’s service development and upcoming projects, digital initiatives that aim to bring patient care and operational efficiency to the next level, and new services launched under Gleneagles Healthcare and Parkway Laboratory Services.  

The Town Hall also saw the recognition of staff's outstanding service and contribution to the hospital. Awards for Infection Prevention and Control Link Nurses, Service Champion awards and Hand Hygiene Compliance awards were presented to our well-deserved colleagues.  

We also put our hands together for our winning Uniquely Yours Ambassadors who were voted by staff and teams as having demonstrated strongly the Uniquely Yours spirit at work and in tending to the needs of patients and fellow colleagues.
