Biography
Professor Carmen Chan is the Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Charity Foundation Professor of Nursing, Vice-Director of Education of the Nethersole School of Nursing, and Assistant Dean (Education) of the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is also a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing.
Professor Chan has 25 years of academic experience. She has demonstrated integrated scholarship in cancer and palliative care research which has broadly impacted on the profession, patients, families, community and nursing education. Her research expertise includes symptom management, psychosocial care, and advance care planning to promote dignified death.
Professor Chan and her team conducted large-scale community roadshows and surveys to promote advance care planning and advance directives in Hong Kong when death and dying was still a taboo in the 1990s. Subsequently, they developed and published a Chinese Health Manual for Advance Care Planning, which has been widely distributed to health care professionals and patients. Professor Chan also developed a concept map to predict the acceptance and completion of advance directives among the general public in Hong Kong. Her current research programme focuses on promoting advance care planning in acute care settings.
