To explore how to further promote medical and social collaboration through the development of social prescribing in Hong Kong, the HKCSS has become one of the supporting organisations of the “Social Prescribing Symposium 2025.” The event will be held on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Multi-function Hall I, 25/F, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Building, 21 Pak Fuk Road, North Point. The theme of this year is “Advancing Social Prescribing in Hong Kong: Lessons from Abroad and Local Innovations.”
This event invites experts from both local and overseas backgrounds to share international experiences and local practices.
