Biography

Professor Suzanne Lo is an Assistant Professor of the Nethersole School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is a registered nurse possessing ample experience in community care. She received her Ph.D. in Health from the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Her doctoral research work focused on examining the effectiveness of self-management programmes for community-dwelling stroke survivors.

Professor Lo is well-experienced in conducting randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews. The results of her studies were published in international peer reviewed journals including Stroke, Disability and Rehabilitation, and BMC Neurology. She is the principal investigator of several funded research projects in areas related to stroke self-management, home-based ballet-inspired workouts, community reintegration and work ability of stroke survivors. Her research also examines the effects of health-promoting interventions that involve partnerships between healthcare professionals and lay and peer volunteers. She is a co-investigator of several funded research projects in areas such as nurse staffing levels and multidisciplinary stroke care.

Professor Lo teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. She is a co-applicant of several teaching grants for developing technology-enhanced learning modules about managing intravenous therapies in children for nursing students as well as inter-professional collaborative practice for gerontology students.
