  • Ambulance Services in Hong Kong
    Ambulance Services in Hong Kong In general, there are two types of ambulance service in Hong Kong, namely Emergency Ambulance Service (EAS) and Non-Emergency Ambulance Transfer Service (NEATS). EAS is provided for persons whose conditions require immediate pre-hospital treatment and transfer to a hospital for prompt medical attention, whereas the NEATS is provided for patients who require transport service to / from medical institution. The ambulance services are provided by the following government and non-government organizations: (1) Hong Kong Fire Services Department; (2) Auxiliary Medical Services; (3) Hospital Authority; and (4) St. John Ambulance Association. The scope of service and how to make a call Hong Kong Fire Services Department The Fire Services Department provides EAS to residents within the territory, including outlying islands. In case a person, having an emergency or injury, is unable to seek medical attention on his own, he can call the 999 Hotline or the Fire Services Communication Centre (the Centre) at 2735 3355 for EAS. If circumstances permit and his condition is not too serious, such as having rash or itching skin caused by sunburn, he should go to a hospital by other means. To enable the staff at the Centre to deploy ambulances more efficiently, a caller should provide the following information after the line has been connected: 1. What has happened (e.g. someone faints, sustains injuries or is ill); 2. Detailed location of the incident; 3. Brief description of the patient's condition (e.g. age, sex, history, symptoms, signs, seriousness of injury, number of people involved, etc); 4.

  • Briefing on 10-Year Hospital Development Plan Date: 15 September 2016 Time: 2:30Pm – 4:00Pm
    Briefing on 10-Year Hospital Development Plan Date: 15 September 2016 Time: 2:30pm – 4:00pm Q&A Session Preamble: Below is a record of the questions and answers given at the 10-year Hospital Development Plan briefing. However, it should be noted that final tender Terms and Conditions may vary at the time of actual tender exercise. Q1: Regarding the Conditions of Contract used by HA for the coming projects, will it be the traditional Government contract form or the New Engineering Contract (NEC) form? A1. HA first adopted NEC on their Tin Shui Wai Hospital. HA will take stock and review the lessons learnt from the usage of the NEC with the works agent Architectural Services Department (ArchSD) before deciding whether to adopt it in future. In the meantime, HA will use the Government standard contract form for the upcoming projects. Q2: With regards to the use of BIM and its nature as a collaborative tool, I am assuming that you will need to do some adaptations of the Government contract form. Will there be some adaptations of the current form to take account of BIM? A2. Yes. HA plans to amend contract clauses to reflect HA’s BIM requirements, which will be of similar form to those adopted by ArchSD where they have specified BIM usage. Interestingly, Buildings Department (BD) has recently issued a practice note* to encourage authorised persons to submit building plans in BIM form. HA requirements will go towards the same direction. Q3. Regarding the marking scheme for Route 2 (architectural lead), is there any “smaller” [specific, detailed] marking scheme? A3.
