Announcement

It is our great pleasure to announce that the Hong Kong College of Family Physicians Annual Scientific Meeting 2010 (HKCFP ASM 2010) will take place on 29 – 30 May 2010 at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong.

The theme for the HKCFP ASM 2010 is “Meeting the Challenges of Non-Communicable Diseases”.  Non-communicable disease prevention and management is an emerging global challenge with the past decade witnessing local and international initiatives aiming to improve care for non-communicable diseases, and the focus on the community, family medicine, general practice and primary care. The ASM 2010, will provide a forum for family physicians and other health care professionals to exchange their experiences and ideas, and to foster collaboration towards meeting the challenges posted by Non-Communicable Diseases in our communities.

We now cordially invite you to submit abstracts for free papers and posters presentations at the HKCFP ASM 2010, as well as to participate in our full paper competition.  Instructions for abstract submission and full paper competition are available on the next few pages and at our College website.

Stay tuned for more information on HKCFP ASM 2010 on our College website, future issues of the Hong Kong Practitioner and FP Links.  I hope that you will join and enrich our ASM in May 2010 and I very much look forward to welcoming you.
