3rd Annual Scientific Meeting - 5 - 6 December 2015 (Saturday & Sunday)

To: All Fellows, Members and Associates of the College

We are pleased to announce that College will be hosting a one and a half day Annual Scientific Meeting this year at the HK Academy of Medicine Building, half day on Saturday (Dec 5) immediately preceding the College AGM and Annual Dinner, and full day on Sunday (Dec 6). The meeting will consist of case-based symposia, a free paper session, a session on Office Paediatrics and a "Young Fellows' session". There is also a session on medico-legal ethics presented by a legal expert. This will be a unique opportunity for paediatricians to discuss, share and update clinical paediatric knowledge in an interactive way.  Focus will be on cross-disciplinary holistic care of children, scientific updates and presentation of the latest in paediatric research. Please find attached the poster and details for registration.
