Some updates

Dear all,

It has been quite some time since I last updated you all on the progress of the Commission.

Mr Dominic Cheung has been appointed by the Catholic Diocese of HK to be Commission's advisor. Mr Cheung's prior contribution in this field was immense. His joining as our advisor is greatly welcomed by the Commission. Let me extend to him our sincere thanks for his future participation.

Hospital Authority has been playing music chair for some of the HCE posts. The new HCE at Caritas Medical Centre is Dr Ma Hok Cheung. He previously worked in Ruttonjee Hospital and is known to be a very nice person. We look forward to working closely with him in CMC. There are other new HCE's at different hospitals but I am not going to mention it here.

Our 3 supervisors/SIT held a meeting with Winnie the other day. They are now working on a directive for future training developments. This directive will be screened by the Commission before its becoming effective. They will sit down, maybe, once a month to review and update the training scheme and fine tune to avoid pitfalls.

I am sure all of you enjoyed Dr. Gilman's seminar. Though I did not stay long, it was very interesting indeed. The Commission is now considering the possibility of inviting Dr Gilman to run a CPE in HK. This will certainly be an interesting experience for all of us.

As for our long awaited Liturgy Handbook, Rev. Thomas Law has kindly agreed to review the handbook ASAP. However, it might still take some time for there is quite a bit of correction required.

We will be seeing each other on several occasions in August. Firstly, there is the Strategic Planning Workshop. Then there will be the outing and visits on 23 August. See you all then!
