Pg. 1111 Year 2013 is an important year for HKRA. We have a big event “HKRRTC” in June which is chaired by HKRA and Co-

chaired by HKCRRT and HKART.

Year 2013 is also our election year. New Team of Ex-Co will

strive to create new experience for our members.

Looking into 2014, we are heading to:

* Improve members’ participation and will try out new activities like Film

Show and Basket Ball Competition. More is coming…..

* Promote academic opportunities by collaboration with other Professional

Organizations and sponsor our members to attend Overseas Conferences.

* Build a Platform for Radiographer CPD repositories through our well-

designed “Program Calendar”. CPD recording become as easy as a click…

* Introducing our Profession to others including other professional or even

the public. This is essential to build our professional image.

Finally a well-balanced work life is crucial to our health. Wish you all work

hard, learn hard and play hard in 2014.

Pg. 2222 Starting from July 2013, HKRAHKRAHKRAHKRA had further our collaboration with other Professional Organizations to promote members’ privilege, organization include the Hong Kong Institute of Physicists in Medi-the Hong Kong Institute of Physicists in Medi-the Hong Kong Institute of Physicists in Medi-the Hong Kong Institute of Physicists in Medi-cine cine cine cine (http://hkipm.org/) and Hong Kong Radiological Technologists’ Hong Kong Radiological Technologists’ Hong Kong Radiological Technologists’ Hong Kong Radiological Technologists’ Association Association Association Association (http://www.hkrta.50g.com/ ). HKRA members will be free or paid very much less than non-members to join their courses. We think that through this kind of collaboration, you as members can enjoy more opportunities to enrich your scope and knowledge. Please visit our website for more details (http://www.hkra.org.hk/course/list.do )

HKRA encourages members to actively participate

in research and improvement projects of their work.

However, presenting their projects or research pa-

pers in overseas conferences would require costly

traveling expenses. The conference sponsorship

scheme has recently been reviewed to allocate

more funding for our members in such activities.

Members are welcome to apply for the sponsorship

from the Association by submitting the application

form, which can be downloaded from our website.
