VI. AOB
1.            A nursing member complained about being rejected from enrolment of post-meeting dinner after an academic meeting co-organized by HKSCCM and Hospira, despite the fact that she had submitted registration as soon as the moment of fist announcement of meeting. Secretary will issue a clarification letter to Hospira stating the position of our Society. Our Society position on this matter is “All categories of HKSCCM member should be regarded as equally important”. This rule would be conveyed to all our partner organizations in our future academic meetings
2.            In February 2011, there was one complaint about a private health care worker being declined for on-line registration during the last ASM on 12 December 2010. Many existing council members had attended the event all through but no one could recall such an incident. The actual fact was that many participants had not registered prior to the event and registered only on-site on that day. No one was declined for registration. Since there were no contact details of the individual available for further clarification, further action will be withheld until the details of matter become more overt.
