Survey of Fellows on the Draft Proposal of HKAS Accreditation Scheme Following the second open forum on the subject on 24 July 2003, it was agreed that wider consultation, including a questionnaire survey, would be needed to gauge the opinion of a broad spectrum of College fellows. To assist in gathering data, HKAS agreed to extend the deadline of the consultation until 23 August 2003.
Please note that the guiding concept of the HKAS Accreditation Scheme for Medical Testing Laboratories is to voluntarily recruit and, largely through peer interactions, continuously improve the medical laboratory services in Hong Kong. HKAS is of the view that the scheme should be applicable to laboratories in both the public and private sector so that the general standard of pathology practice could be improved.
College Fellows are therefore requested to spend a few minutes to complete the questionnaire and return it to me promptly. This is important to our profession and to the standard of health care to the public.
Please kindly return your completed questionaire to me by fax (852-2623 6075) or by email (ngwf@ha.org.hk) on or before 18 August 2003.
You can download the current draft local accreditation scheme and the related documents below (News - 07/07/2003).

Certificate Course in Diagnostic Cytopathology The College in partnership with the HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education (SPACE) will begin a formal and extensive training course in Diagnostic Cytopathology to be held on an annual or biannual basis. The course will commence on May 22nd 2002 and continue with one to two session each week until the examinations in October 2002. It is also expected that the CT(IAC) will be held in December 2002 following this course.
This certificate course, which has been rigorously vetted by the Internal Validation Panel and Collaboration Approval Panel of SPACE, is the culmination of a series of similar, but often less comprehensive courses, held over the past 10 years. With the changes in pathology practice, and particulary the imminent adoption of a cervical screening program in Hong Kong, the College feels it is time for a more formal on-going programme.
Details of the course can be downloaded from the College website (Application Form, pamphlet, and poster). Please note: The number of registrants will be restricted and to date 20 persons have already registered.

College Involved in Educational Drive to Increase Awareness of PAP Test Importan The College is most enthusiastic to become more involved in community matters especially those directly related to our profession.
The College has been invited to participate with the Hong Kong Cancer Fund, the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians, the Hong Kong College of Family Practitioners, and others in an endeavour to increase awareness of the value of the PAP test by the use of a short but intense campaign planned for May this year.
 Prioritize Cervical Screening The most recently available cancer statistics in Hong Kong show that cervical cancer ranked fourth for new cancers in females in 1997, with 474 newly diagnosed cases. Mortality from cervical cancer has changed little in the past decade.There were 145 deaths from cervical cancer in 1998, accounting for 4.4 deaths per 100,000 population and ranking the 7th leading cause for cancer deaths in women. The facts about screening are startling: The incidence and mortality of cervical cancer have not dropped significantly, as it has in other countries with similar socio-economic levels.As many as 50% of women in Hong Kong have never had a Pap smear. Many women do not consider regular Pap testing important. 76.8% of cervical cancer patients had not had a Pap smear for 10 years or longer. During the month of May, a coordinated advertising and promotional campaign will aim to educate women about the importance of Pap smear tests to detect and treat abnormalities before they become cancerous. Patient information on the Pap smear test, as well as a listing of some clinics providing the test, is available on the Hong Kong Cancer Fund website (www.cancer-fund.org). We invite providers to join us in encouraging their patients to have this test done on a regular basis. For more information on the guidelines for cervical screening and the management of an abnormal cervical smear, please refer to the College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists website, www.hkcog.org.hk

Non-fulfilment of CME requirements We wish to draw your attention to the recent issue of HK Academy of Medicine newsletter, academy focus autumn 200, which outlines the Acadmey's policies on non-fulfilment of CME requirements:
1. Retired from active practice
The Academy will be prepared to grant exemption for CME if Council is convinced that the Fellow concerned has retired from active clinical practice. However, the Academy will inform the Medical Council that the Fellow concerned does not fulfil the CME requirements for the purpose of Specialist Registration.
The Academy will consider application for CME exemption from a Fellow only if he/she has formally submitted a written declaration to the Academy/College that he/she has retired from active clinical practice.
A Fellow who subsequently resumes active clinical practice will be required to make up for CME points as if he/she has never retired.
If a Fellow who has been exempted from CME subsequently wants the Academy to certify him/her for Specialist Registration, he/she will be required to have obtained the minimum number of accreditable CME points for a CME cycle counting back from the date of application for certification.
2. Remediable non-compliance
a) Fellows must:
i) have achieved not less than 60 points within the cycle; OR
ii) be certified to have suffered from a medical condition which Council considers as a reasonable cause for the CME non-compliance.
b) These Fellows must engage in a remedial programme to make up the deficiency.
c) The reasons for non-compliance and the remedial CME programs must be endorsed by the Education Committee [of the Academy].
d) The remedial programme must be finished within the time specified by the appropriate College. In any case, the remedial programme must be finished within 12 months from the time of decision.
e) The next CME cycle of these Fellows should follow immediately after the provious cycle without any break. In other words, these Fellows will have to undergo normal and remedial CME at the same time.
3. Non-compliance that is not remediable
The Acadmey will inform the Medical Council that these Fellows do not fulfil the CME requirements. Upon reviewing each case, a recommendation for Fellowship suspension will be made. Reinstatement of Academy Fellowship will be (a) at the discretion of the Council, and (b) upon payment of fees as determined by the Academy from time to time, and (c) subjected to requirements including remedial CME and/or reassessment as determined by the Academy from time to time.

Seminar of Group A Streptococci As old infections associated with Group A Streptococci (GAS) are re-emerging and new entities constantly appearing, together with new insights into its treament options and duration, the College is co-organizing with the Hong Kong Association of Medical Microbiology a two-part seminar on GAS. An expert on the subject, Professor Edward Kaplan, has been invited to the seminar and he will give a couple of talks. We have confidence that this seminar would serve as a forum for a fruitful discussion and action planning.
The seminar will be on 13 and 14 October 2000. No prior registration is required. Please extend the invitation to laboratory staff in your department in particular for the Oct 14 session which is meant to be more microbiological in nature as compared to the Oct 13 session which is clinically oriented.

Earning CME Points with QA Activities Starting from 1 January 2001, external quality assurance activities can be counted for CME purposes. This amendment is a result of a recent change in the Academy's view on quality assurance programs.

4. Measurement of Activities
A point of CME activity is equivalent to one hour of audience participation in a Formal College Approved Post-Graduate Meeting (FCAPM) or a Formal College Approved Quality Assurance Program (CFAQAP).
5.6 Quality Assurance
5.6.1 Participation in external quality assurance programs is accredited with prior approval from the College.
5.6.2 0.5 CME points are awarded for completion of each case or unit of interpretative quality assessment, up to a maximum of 5 points per dispatch.
5.6.3 2 CME Points are awarded to each author who writes a report of a College pre-approved quality assurance program.
5.6.4 Organising and administering a College pre-approved quality assurance program will attract 3 points.
5.6.5 Participation in quality assurance programs may be accredited a maximum of 20 CME points in each three-year cycle.
