Under the scheme, eligible staff members and their dependants enjoy the convenience of receiving subsidized outpatient consultatio n services at designated clinics under contract with the University. By the end of 1996-97, there were seven designated clinic s located in different regions on Hong Kong Island, in Kowloon, and the New Territories. The University would continue to explore the incorporation of more clinics to the scheme, while existing services provided by th e University Health Service would remain unchanged, meaning that eligible staff members now enjoy more choice and greater convenience. 敎職員培訓及發展 staff Training and Development 本校極重視敎職員培訓及發展，經常鼓勵員工進修，以配合不斷改變的工作需要或締造更佳的晉 升機會。年內各項培訓及發展計劃的受惠人數如下： •敎職員進修計劃：七名敎師及行政人員獲校方或校外基金給予獎助學金或假期，在本港或海外 專上院校進修、受訓，或開展硏究工作。 •暑期海外研究工作特別補助金：校方撥出七十七萬港元，資助二十七項計劃，供敎師於一九九 七年夏季往海外從事研究。 •會議補助金：校方提供津貼予二百九十七名成功申請者於本港及海外出席學術或專業會議。 57 Staf f
