The 1st

Neuroscience
Student Association
in Hong Kong

✈️Neurological Outreachers Beijing 2026 took place from 15th to 20th June this summer! 🤩

🤝We brought together Hong Kong medical students and Beijing communities for a week of service and attachment. Our participants shadowed doctors and engaged in interactive bedside teaching and patient caring at Xuanwu Hospital and Tiantan Hospital, two renowned institutions leading in neurosurgery and neurology; and China Rehabilitation Research Center that specializes in neurological rehabilitation. In our service outreach, the volunteers engaged elderly residents with cognitive disabilities through interactive games and collaboration with local social workers. We also partnered with local university students on neuro-health awareness campaigns to promote neurological health.

✨We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the local hospitals and doctors for offering the precious opportunity to explore the forefront neurological, neurosurgical and rehabilitation practice, and to the local elderly home and medical student organisation for the fruitful collaboration to bring forth the service outreach that nurtured the students’ communication skills and empathy.

🫡Special shoutout to Gerald Choa Memorial Fund for the generous financial support towards the trip.

🧠We look forward to seeing you in our future events!

🧠 HKSAN is the first cross-university neuroscience student society in Hong Kong. We strive to inspire enthusiasm for neuroscience, nurture future neuroscientists and doctors, facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration locally and internationally, and improve neurological health among the general public. Our 3 departments are:

📚 RES (Department of Scientific Research)
🥼 CLIN (Department of Clinical Experience)
📢 PUB (Department of Public Health)

What will you gain from being part of Ex-co? As an executive committee member (Ex-Co), you will be provided with numerous great opportunities such as hosting webinars and conferences (e.g. APNSC-HKSAN 2027), conducting scientific research, participating in community service (e.g. Hong Kong Neurological Outreachers 2026), connecting with world-renowned neuroscientists, organising international events (e.g. Neuroscience trip 2026) and more! 🥳

You don’t have to be a medical student or experienced in neuroscience to be an Ex-Co. Students majoring in allied health subjects, psychology, biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering and other related fields are also warmly welcomed. Students studying in Hong Kong who are interested in neuroscience are also welcome to apply. All positions are open to students from any year. ✅

Neurological Outreachers 2026: Parkinson‘s Disease was successfully held on 9 August 2026! 🧠

Organized by HKSAN in collaboration with the Office of District Council Member Yu Siu-lun, this one-day community outreach program aimed to advance public education on Parkinson’s disease and foster meaningful engagement with elderly populations in Hong Kong.

Our volunteers began the day with in-home visits in Lam Tin, providing basic health checks, HK-MoCA, and lifestyle suggestions to elderly participants diagnosed with Parkinson‘s disease. Through interactive games and thoughtful conversations, we built trust and rapport while gaining valuable insights into the daily challenges faced by patients and their caregivers.

In the afternoon, we hosted a public outreach session at Lam Tin (East) Community Hall, featuring educational talks by Dr. Eric Cheung and Prof. Margaret Mak, followed by an engaging Q&A session. Participants also enjoyed a variety of booth activities, including assessment and game booths.

Special thanks to Dr. Eric Cheung and Prof. Margaret Mak for sharing their expertise, to Mr. Yu Siu-lun and our dedicated volunteers for their generous support, to all the guests whose presence and contributions made the event a success, and to the participants and caregivers for welcoming us into their community. We would also like to acknowledge the Hong Kong Brain Foundation for connecting us with Dr. Cheung.

We hope this event has empowered you with knowledge and support. See you next year! 👋
