I joined Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong in 2019 as a Medical Technologist, and over the  past seven years, I have had valuable opportunities to develop both professionally and personally in an environment that emphasises professionalism, trust and talent development. I was promoted to Assistant Laboratory Manager and later to Senior Medical Technologist, with my role evolving from a technical focus to a broader involvement in operational and clinical management.

What has motivated me to continue building my career at Gleneagles is the hospital’s strong emphasis on clinical excellence, quality, and patient safety. At the same time, its culture of continuous improvement and innovation has encouraged me to integrate my interest in laboratory automation and data management into daily operations, contributing to enhanced laboratory efficiency. One of my proudest milestones was leading the successful migration to a new laboratory automation system, which was completed smoothly without disruption to clinical services and brought tangible improvements in both testing capacity and patient care.

Through participation in various healthcare quality assessments, my perspective has broadened beyond routine laboratory operations to include areas such as clinical governance, risk management, and service quality. I have also strengthened my ability to leverage data analytics to optimise laboratory performance, alongside gaining valuable experience in team leadership and continuous operational improvement.  Our Clinical Laboratory team is built on a culture of trust, open communication, and constructive feedback, while the hospital management is supportive of staff-driven improvement initiatives, giving me the confidence to contribute new ideas and continue growing professionally.

What I find most fulfilling is the opportunity to enhance laboratory efficiency and quality from a holistic perspective, and to make a positive contribution to patient services. Looking back on my journey here, Gleneagles provides a supportive environment that values talent development, embraces forward-thinking leadership and fosters innovation, motivating me to continue growing alongside the hospital and contributing my expertise to create greater value.

- Oskar Kan, Senior Medical Technologist

My nursing career began inmedical and orthopaedic wards. Over the five years I spent working there, I have gained hands-on experience in patient care and built a strong foundation for my development in the nursing profession. During that period, I gradually developed a deep interest in surgical nursing and set my sights on transitioning into Operating Theatre (OT) to further broaden my professional growth. In 2016, I joined Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong before its officially opened, and, as part of the commissioning team, supported the preparation of its OT service, which marked my first step toward becoming an OT nurse. Working alongside experienced colleagues who had joined Gleneagles from different hospitals broadened my knowledge and gave me a solid foundation, enabling me to contribute confidently when our OT services were launched.

What makes OT work unique are the teamwork, diverse specialties and precision involved. From pre-operative preparation to post-operative care, we support patients and ensure their safety every step of the way. Witnessing a successful surgery always gives me a deep sense of satisfaction. What I treasure most at Gleneagles is our strong team spirit and the structured training. The hospital’s mentorship programme offers one-on-one guidance and support from senior colleagues to newly joined nurses during their adaptation journey. The hands-on learning and exposure to different units helped me understand the whole patient care process. 

As I gained more experience in the OT, the hospital further supported my professional development by nominating me to take the Anesthesia Nursing Course 2018, a specialised programme organised by the Private Hospital Operating Theatre Organisation. Only two training places were offered to each hospital, making it a highly specialised and competitive learning opportunity. That advanced training deepened my understanding of perioperative care and further strengthened my ability to collaborate with the surgical and anaesthetic teams.

With the unwavering support from my colleagues during all these years, I have grown into an OT team leader who takes pride in mentoring new staff and embracing new technologies. I would encourage nurses who are considering OT to take this challenge as your experience is more valuable and transferable than you might think. Backed by strong support and the right resources, developing your skills here can be both rewarding and empowering. I am proud to grow and serve alongside such a dedicated team.

"After having served on the frontline for more than a decade, I decided to extend the passion and goals I have for patient care to nurturing the next generation of nurses. As a Nurse Educator at Gleneagles, I am responsible for clinical-based education and learning needs of all levels of nursing staff, clinical practicum for nursing students, curricula design, competency assessment, etc.

Gleneagles puts great emphasis on staff training and development. Our hospital provides a fertile ground for modern nursing education, adopting teaching approach that combines theories and evidence-based practices. Being part of a global healthcare group, Gleneagles offers us valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge and views with nursing leaders in different countries. This has widened our exposure and improved our teaching skills in higher education. With plenty of training resources and support provided, I am able to execute my job well and design teaching programmes that are interactive, creative and innovative. All these have empowered me to continue to develop myself and work competently as a Nurse Educator."

- Sharon Chau, Nurse Educator

"We are not just colleagues but also good friends. We were secondary school classmates 12 years back and then we both studied radiography in the same university. After graduation, we joined the Radiology Department of Gleneagles together.

In our view, Gleneagles provides good work experience for energetic fresh graduates because they are exposed to more learning opportunities in a new hospital. Meanwhile, our partnership with a university helps us gain experience from a wide variety of radiology cases. We are thankful to our department which offers us great exposure to various cutting-edge imaging modalities, helping us pave the way for our goal to become all-rounded radiographers."

"I started my career at Gleneagles as Inventory Executive in the Pharmacy department. The plenty of support from the hospital and my colleagues has supported me in achieving my goal as a Dispenser. I hope I can continue to progress along the career ladder.

In addition to the training on relevant practical skills, I was given a practicum opportunity in the hospital to gain more experience in pharmacy while I was pursuing my part-time studies in dispensing last year. I am particularly grateful to the Pharmacy Manager who nominated me to take the course and offered me a lot of support and confidence. Upon successful completion of my studies, I was promoted to Dispenser. Thanks to the guidance from my mentor who has given me a more comprehensive understanding on the operation of the Pharmacy department."

- Kay Ng, Dispenser, Pharmacy

"It has been six years since I joined Gleneagles when the hospital had not yet commenced operation. During these years, I witnessed Gleneagles’ growth from a construction site to a full-service private hospital, expanding from having only a few employees to now a strong team with over a thousand members. I am fortunate to have had the chance to work in various departments through which I have learnt a lot. I saw how everyone worked hard and put their best effort in helping build the hospital to what it is today.

At Gleneagles, I enjoy working with great colleagues in an environment which fosters mutual respect, trust and support. The wide variety of training opportunities enriches not just my knowledge in the field but also my language skills, service excellence and other soft skills."

- Carries Leung, Executive Assistant, Material Management

“Gleneagles provides a very pleasant work environment for staff.  Our partnership with a university means that we have exposure to a variety of paediatric cases which I learn a lot from. Our hospital cares much about our health and well-being and offers us appropriate support in these aspects. It is also great that there are different platforms for us to communicate regularly with hospital management and exchange thoughts with each other.

We have plenty of internal and external training opportunities, and training sponsorships are available to all staff.  To me, it is particularly important as I look for more than just a nursing job, but a place where I can excel in areas where my strengths are and achieve the career goals I have set for myself.”   

- Brenda Tso, Assistant Director of Nursing

“This is my 5th year working at the Sample Collection Centre(SCC) of Gleneagles. I joined as a Healthcare Assistant (phlebotomist) and was promoted to Senior Healthcare Assistant in 2020. I appreciate that the hospital is open to listen and always welcomes feedback from staff while providing sufficient resources for me to develop my career.

I am pleased to have the trust from my supervisor who nominated me to be the trainer of a phlebotomy course that will be coordinated by SCC. I have been looking forward this coaching opportunity to provide practicum training to students. Phlebotomy is not only about techniques but most importantly patient care. I hope to share all my experience to the future phlebotomists, which I believe such can help them understand more about the field and learn how to be good phlebotomists.

Apart from my work at Gleneagles, meanwhile I am taking a part-time degree course in business management. I hope to get myself well-equipped with more different skills as I always believe that opportunities come to those who are prepared.”   

- Chan Man Yee, Senior Healthcare Assistant (Sample Collection Centre)

This is my 6th year working at the Critical Care Unit (CCU) since I joined Gleneagles as a Registered Nurse in 2016.  I am provided with lots of learning opportunities here which help me achieve my career aspirations. Our partnership with The University of Hong Kong (HKU) creates a great platform for me to accumulate experience as we have the exposure to a variety of complex cases. I also get the chance to learn the latest procedures and techniques such as plasma exchange and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which are all comprehensive and precious learning opportunities to me.

At Gleneagles, we are committed to delivering the best patient care, which contributes an extremely important part in the nursing profession.  Besides, I am pleased to have the chance to contribute to the hospital’s mentorship programme for newly joined nursing staff by providing on-the-job guidance to and sharing experience with colleagues. Through this programme, new staff can gain experience via clinical training while getting familiar with the working environment at CCU. I believe all these learning and training opportunities would help them develop and advance their career in this area of specialisation. These are the reasons why I always find it satisfying being a CCU nurse. 

Apart from my work at Gleneagles, I furthered my studies and completed my Master’s degree in Nursing in 2021.  I am excited to continue to strive to be a successful nursing specialist in critical care.

- Matthew So, Nurse Manager

It has been my 5th year with the Operating Theatre (OT) of Gleneagles. The collaborative culture and learning opportunities provided have brought me amazing experience, and I am pleased to be part of the growth journey of the hospital. 

Before joining Gleneagles, I had served two public hospitals as an operating theatre assistant (OTA) for over eight years. It was a difficult decision moving from the public to the private sector, but I received a lot of encouragement from my family, former colleagues, and friends who had joined Gleneagles from the very beginning of its establishment. Thanks to the guidance and support from my supervisor and colleagues, I could adapt to the new working environment quickly.  

I still remember when I joined in 2018, there were only a few OTAs; but for just a few years, we have developed a large team of OTAs supporting multi-dimensional surgeries. I appreciate that our team is like a family which everyone is happy and enjoys working together. The hospital has been supporting my career development and I was excited to be promoted one year after I joined. From then I have been offered many opportunities of providing supervision and mentoring support to our junior staff. At Gleneagles, the duties of OTAs are far beyond preparing anaesthesia supplies. As part of the surgical team, we work closely with the anaesthesiologists and our main role during surgery is to assist them in performing anaesthesia procedures and monitoring patient's vital signs. We also support nursing colleagues in the preparation of various surgical equipment. These are all valuable learning opportunities to me.  

My department is always willing to offer job opportunities to those with enthusiasm for the healthcare industry, especially OT, even though they have no relevant experience. At my current role, I am more than happy to influence other passionate colleagues with my 12 years of experience, help them to learn to be independent OTAs, and to find satisfaction from their job. I look forward to my next five years growing together with my team and Gleneagles, serving more patients. 

- Wong San Yiu, Senior Operating Theatre Assistant

I started my culinary career as a pastry chef in a 5-star hotel 15 years ago, and later had a chance to work in Australia to gain more pastry experience. After I returned to Hong Kong, in 2017, my Chef friend working in Gleneagles told me that this new hospital was establishing its Food & Beverage (F&B) team. I decided to take on the challenge and joined as a Junior Sous Chef, and was then promoted to Sous Chef.

My duty is to ensure the pastry and cold plate food and products delivered at Gleneagles are up to standard, be it food quality or hygiene, as well as ensure the smooth operation of the kitchen.I never thought that a hospital could be a place for creativity. Here we have many opportunities to try out new things and share our ideas.I particularly enjoy designing new menus and dishes. It’s wonderful to be able to make the best use of the skills and experience I gained from hotel catering, and every compliment from patients means a lot to me. As a hospital chef, serving patients with tasty and yet healthy food is my special way of expressing my care for them!

While Gleneagles celebrates its 5^th anniversary this year, I am happy to grow with the hospital as it is also my 5^th work anniversary. I shall continue to enhance my cooking techniques and skills, and deliver more quality gourmet dishes.

- Au Lut Yee, Sous Chef (Food and Beverage)

Referred by a friend who is working in Gleneagles, I started my journey here in the Mixed Ward as a Temporary Undergraduate Nursing Student (TUNS) in 2022. Gleneagles provides me with an ideal learning environment to handle surgical cases and develop my practical skills. I was convinced that this was the place for me, and I started my career as a Registered Nurse after completing my bachelor’s degree.

Gleneagles provides plenty of learning opportunities which has not only enriched my knowledge and experience but has also strengthened my communication and customer service skills. There are different challenges working in a ward, but I am grateful that doctors and colleagues around me are always supportive and they have given me a lot of constructive guidance.

To further advance my career, I plan to pursue a master’s degree and explore my interest in a specialty. I believe that my growth at Gleneagles will be an important milestone of my career.

- Katy Lo, Registered Nurse (Mixed Ward)

I started my nursing career with Gleneagles as a Temporary Undergraduate Nursing Student in the Medical Ward a year ago.  Gleneagles is one of the newest private hospitals in town, and I am impressed with its cutting-edge medical equipment and  the unique learning opportunities offered via its partnership with The University of Hong Kong.

Upon completing my bachelor’s degree, I became a Registered Nurse at Gleneagles, an enjoyable role which has given me a new and full perspective of patient care. Other than applying the right skills and knowledge, I came to realise the importance of building trust with patients and understanding their needs with empathy, which all form part of quality patient care.

Life is busy yet fulfilling at Gleneagles. I am proud to be part of the Gleneagles family and I believe that it is a great place to grow, both personally and professionally.

- Wong Man Yan, Registered Nurse (Medical Ward)

I have worked in public and private hospitals for years before joining Gleneagles in 2016 as Senior Registered Nurse. I was promoted to Nurse Manager in January this year.

I joined Gleneagles as I was attracted by the learning opportunity to participate in the hospital commissioning. Over the years my duties have been extended to ensuring the smooth operation of the ward and managing staff. Thanks to the training provided by the hospital, I was able to adapt to my latest position smoothly and quickly.

Staff’s dependents are well taken care of under the comprehensive medical benefit scheme. Earlier this year, the scheme was enhanced with an extensive network of doctors beyond that of the hospital. The medical benefits for staff’s children were also extended to those who are full-time students aged 25 years or below!

The granting of paid sick leave or special leave to staff who were affected in different ways during the pandemic meant a lot to us. I’m pleased to be part of this caring family.

- Genesis Cheng, Nurse Manager (Mixed Ward)

Prior to joining Gleneagles as Head Chef in 2017, I had worked in different hotels. In January this year, I was promoted to Executive Chef.

Switching from serving hotel clients to serving patients has meant that the food we serve should go beyond look and taste - it needs to be nutritious too. Being the person overseeing the management and operation of the kitchen, from food quality monitoring, cost and manpower control to menu development, I have been given all the opportunities to sharpen both my cooking and management skills.

I think it is very thoughtful of the hospital that it has continued to enhance its staff benefits all these years. On top of the5% of employer’s mandatory contribution, the hospital provides an extra voluntary contribution which provides me with extra peace of mind as a staff.

With my stable working hours, I’m able to spend some quality time with my family.

- Lou Kuok Kam, Executive Chef (Food and Beverage)

I graduated in 2021 and joined the Gleneagles’ Operating Theatre (OT) as a Registered Nurse in the same year. In addition to benefiting from the comprehensive 6-week programme for nurse graduates in the OT, as a freshman in the healthcare industry, I was also grateful to be the mentee of our highly-experienced Nurse Educator who guided and supported me throughout the mentorship programme.

During my first year of work in the OT, the Nurse Educator assigned two senior colleagues to work with me in the same shifts such that I could learn from them. Under the mentorship programme, I also had adequate opportunities to participate in various surgeries which sharpened my skills. Besides, surgery sharing sessions held regularly gave me valuable insights into the role. All these have made Gleneagles OT a conducive workplace for me to grow personally and professionally, while preparing me for further development in specialised areas such as Orthopaedic and Urology surgery!
