l          Council members expressed concern about the possible difficulties which may be encountered

The source of sponsorship will directly be responsible for all expenses of the conference. Dr Tang will submit the details to council after this meeting
C.         To facilitate efficiency of application, electronic approval via internet of four council members for each application will be adopted. Four members are: Chairman; secretary; treasurer and Dr Law Kin Ip.

1.          Asian Pacific Association of Critical Care Medicine (Journal: Critical Care, Shock)
2.          Joint Faculty of Critical Care Medicine (Journal: Critical Care Resuscitation)
n             Chairman recommend to council to accept (1) owing to the fact that it has been regularly linked to our local critical care physicians, and (2) may not be able to offer adequate chance for local studies in Hong Kong for publication
n             Council would like to invite Dr So Hing Yu, consultant and director of ICU of PWH, to represent for society at the Asian Pacific Association of Critical Care Medicine.
