Despite my unsatisfactory DSE result, I am glad that I have chosen to study at HPSHCC. I was impressed by the facilities and learning atmosphere here. Lecturers were passionate in nurturing students and answering questions from students. They offered help in our studies. I remember reading the student sharing page last year and I am happy to have the opportunity to share my thought here.Failure is not fatal. What matter most is to pick ourselves up from where we have fallen and to have faith in our own abilities. Do our best and leave no regrets!

黃啟聰 Kenny Wong
2008–09 Foundation Programme View Programme
2009–11 Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management View Programme
2011–13 Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
2015 Kenny is a System Analyst in a reputable medical company, which develops the automatic dispensing system
Automated pharmacy definitely can reduce medical incidents. In the past years, I worked as a dispenser in different contexts, such as community pharmacy, nursing home and private clinic. Although the job duties of a dispenser in different areas vary, all of them require good skills, so as to avoid any human errors due to the heavy workloads. The application of advance technology in dispensing can reduce the workload of a dispenser as well as to minimise human errors. I am now working as a system analyst in a renowned medical company, which develops the automatic dispensing system. Since I have learnt different knowledge in the areas of medical and pharmaceutical sciences when studying the Higher Diploma and the university degree programmes, I am able to serve customers by providing them with accurate information on various medical products.
