使命
心血管、代謝疾病及中風護理科研專題小組的使命是透過概念性及具影響力的研究，拓展與心血管、代謝疾病及中風護理相關的知識及創新方案 ，從而改善心血管及代謝健康，以及中風後的康復成效。
小組的主要研究方向包括：
- 應對心腦血管疾病患者或高危人士的護理需求；
- 提升中風病人及其照顧者的病情管理知識、技巧及信心，以促進康復進度和改善健康相關生活質素；及
- 制訂有效策略助代謝综合症患者進行非藥物治療及減低心血管疾病風險，以及助糖尿病患者調整生活模式。
主要研究員
Professor LO Hoi Shan, Suzanne (Convener)
助理教授
盧海珊助理教授一直致力於改善中風病人的健康和康復成果。她的研究主要是探討自我管理計劃對社區中風病人之成效，提升年輕患者重投社區及重返職場的能力，以及運用創新策略如芭蕾健身運動等，加強中風後居家康復護理。盧教授亦熱衷於培訓市民及專業人員成為義工，從而建立社區力量為中風病人提供支援。
Professor CHAIR Sek Ying
副院長（研究）／ 教授
車錫英教授的研究致力於改善心血管及代謝健康，透過各種創新介入方案如動機訪談、以家爲本心臟康復模式、網上康復活動、賦權自我管理計劃、太極和「隨樂起動」運動計劃等，改善患者的健康成果。車教授的研究廣泛探討教育和認知行為策略的結合運用，鼓勵患者積極參與康復計劃及調整生活模式，從而減低患病風險。
Professor CHAU Pak Chun, Janita
榮休教授
周柏珍教授積極投身研究，為中風患者研發和評估了多項創新的中風康復護理服務（例如虛擬跨專科中風護理診所）和介入方案（例如幫助患者重投社會的虛擬實境系統），其研究成果對中風後康復護理實踐貢獻良多。周教授亦透過不少研究項目，制訂了多套循證護理臨床實踐指引，並在醫院推行有關指引及評估其臨床護理成果。周教授更專長於知識綜合，發表了多篇有關臨床護理成果的高水準系統綜述。
Professor CHAN Wai Kiu, Aileen
副教授 （護理學專業應用）
陳惠嬌副教授成功進行多個研究計劃，以探討太極和氣功對各類慢性病患者改善病情之成效。她對提高慢性病高危群組的參與度有獨特興趣，這亦是貫穿其各項學術研究的主線。陳教授的研究肯定了練習太極和氣功對不同慢性病均有好處，對拓展相關知識貢獻良多。
臧渝梨博士
Dr. ZANG Yuli, Amy
副研究員
臧渝梨博士的研究專注於探討心血管對壓力的反應，以及與人體內外生物節律相關的預防性治療。她剛完成了有關患有或較大機會患上心血管疾病的長者如何應對熱浪侵襲的研究，另有一些研究項目仍在進行中。
