♦ History of the Website and Editorial Board
In 2007, members of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Intensive Care Coordinating Committee (COC) suggested to set up an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Innovation Advisory Group (IAG), with the objectives to advance the future development of Hong Kong ICU services, and to make preparation for the succession of ICU top management. The first ICU IAG meeting was held on 17 September 2007 in Room 527 of the Hospital Authority Building, chaired by Dr CHOW Fu Loi (ICU Consultant, Caritas Medical Centre, Hong Kong). Its members included Dr CHING Chi Keung (SMO (ICU), TKOH), Dr CHOI Gordon (AC (ICU), PWH), Ms CHOY C F (APN (ICU), TMH), Ms KWOK L Y (WM (ICU), KWH), Mr KWONG Henry (M (IEC), Secretary, HAHO), Dr LAM Kam Wah (SMO (ICU), QEH), Dr LAU Chun Wing Arthur (AC (ICU), PYNEH), Dr LAU L S (AC (ICU), QMH), Ms LEUNG F Y (DOM (ICU), PMH/YCH), Ms MOK S Y (APN (ICU), TMH), and Dr SO Dominic (AC (ICU), PMH/YCH). In its first meeting, members suggested to set up an ICU Newsletter as a platform for better communcations amongst Hong Kong ICU, exchange of academic information and opinions, and promotion of good practices. This motion of the publication of an ICU Newsletter was returned to the COC (ICU) for further discussion, and in the COC (ICU) meeting on 24 June 2008, it was decided that the ICU Newsletter would best be developed under the auspices of the Hong Kong Society of Critical Care Medicine (HKSCCM), and it would constitute the major content of the HKSCCM website.
Three website administrators are providing expert technical support for setting up and maintenance of the website: Dr CHAN King Chung (PYNEH), Dr CHAN Kin Wai (PYNEH) and Dr SO Sheung On (KWH). An editorial board was set up to decide on the content of the Newsletter on the HKSCCM website. In the HKSCCM council meeting in July 2008, Dr LAU Chun Wing, Arthur (Assoc Cons, ICU, PYNEH) was appointed Editor-in-Chief. Afterwards, Dr WONG Kwan Keung (NDH) was invited to be the academic adviser. In order to promote inter-hospital collaboration for this meaningful cause, the editorial board is made up of members from all ICU in Hong Kong, consisting of four Associate Editors: Dr CHING Chi Keung (TKOH), Dr CHOI Gordon (PWH), Dr LAM Kam Wah (QEH) and Dr SO Dominic (PMH/YCH), as well as twenty five hospital editors from 13 ICUs.
The website began its developmental phase in December 2008, and was formally open on 20 January 2009.
