Healthcare professionals who are not subject to statutory registration in Hong Kong are “regulated” on their own, mostly through voluntary, society-based registration under the principle of professional autonomy, whereby the respective professional bodies administer a registration system and promulgated a membership list. To better inform the public and service users and to promote a high level of service standard for these professionals.

As the “Accredited Registers Scheme for Healthcare Professionals” is becoming more and more mature and attracting attention, the pamphlet “Accredited Healthcare Professional Body Series” has been published officially, which will allow more people in Hong Kong to recognize its importance!

The pamphlet of “Accredited Healthcare Professional Body Series of Dietitians” is announced.

 

 

On 31 October 2019, the Hong Kong Academy of Accredited Dietitians (HKAAD) were granted full accreditation under the Accredited Registers Scheme for Health Professionals and is now responsible for administering registers for dietitians in Hong Kong.

Former HKAAD Chairperson Dr Wendy Ma, Vice Chairperson Ms Sandra Shing, Secretary Ms Sylvia Lam and Chairperson of the PIC Dr Lorena Cheung represented HKAAD at a reception hosted by the Director of Health, the HKSAR Government and were presented with an official certificate on 20 January 2020.

A momentous step towards regulation of the dietetics profession in Hong Kong!
