Welcome to the team, Doctor Chan.
Dr. Wan Hei Chan will oversee our healthy living curriculum offer, as we share the importance of keeping our bodies and minds healthy. We will be partnering with Medical and Dental Students across local universities to deliver a range of Health Education workshops and talks, in line with the 2020 revised curriculum in the UK.
