Navigating Safe Use of Chinese and Western Medicines: Local Developments

About the Seminar

The concurrent use of Chinese and Western medicines is a common practice among people in Hong Kong. As Integrated Chinese-Western Medicine services expand in the community and patient records become increasingly connected, pharmacists serve as vital gatekeepers in identifying potential herb-drug interactions and ensuring the safe, rational use of both medicine systems.
This seminar is designed to strengthen pharmacists’ capacity in this evolving area of practice. Participants will gain insight into the local landscape of Chinese-Western medicine integration, including how drug interaction reviews are conducted and the evidence base used to inform clinical decisions. Through real-world examples, participants will leave with practical approaches to identify safety concerns, communicate effectively with other healthcare providers, and confidently support patients navigating both treatment traditions.
