Topic:

Cook-Fit Healthy Cooking Workshop for South Asian Families

Description:

In 2023, we conducted a pilot programme titled “Cook-Fit Healthy Cooking Workshop for South Asian Families.” This initiative aimed to understand the causes of obesity within the South Asian community. The programme included three sessions combining knowledge sharing, shopping practice, and cooking. Key challenges included adopting new recipes while preserving traditional cooking methods and concerns about family acceptance of a healthy diet. We evaluated cognitive changes through home visits and social media follow-ups.

Medication management service aims to enhance personal medication management ability of elderly patients through individual consultation sessions by pharmacists. We will share our MEL project on why we extended the service target group to stroke patients and how we performed quantitative evaluations.
