Professor Simon LAM is currently the Professor of the School of Nursing at Tung Wah College.   He has over 18 years of teaching experience as an academic in both UGC and self-financing tertiary institutions in Hong Kong.  He also serves as Associate Editor of BMC Infectious Diseases, Frontiers in Public Health, Frontiers in Medicine, Editorial Broad Member of Korean Journal of Adult Nursing, Reviewer for many international journals (e.g., The BMJ, JAMA Network Open, BMC Medicine, IJNS and Environmental Science and Technology Letters).

 

Before joining Tung Wah College in 2021, Professor Lam was the Deputy Director of the Squina International Centre for Infection Control, and Assistant Professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.  He left the Hong Kong Metropolitan University (formerly named Open University of Hong Kong) in 2018 as the position of Associate Professor.

 

Professor Lam has published over 100 refereed articles and 100 conference proceedings on the field of infection control, psychometric testing and elderly care.  He developed the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale (CSPS) for measuring compliance with infection control practice among nursing in clinical settings.  This scale has been translated into more than eleven  languages and adopted for the use in over 30 countries.  Furthermore, he coordinated a multi-country comparative study of compliance with infection control practice among nursing staff from nine regions. For his expertise in mask and N95 respirators, he developed the first local Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) system for screening the quality of filtrating materials, like face masks, which the result of quality of 160 different brands of face mask have been published in American Journal of Infection Control.  Since 2011, he has published several impactful researches on N95 respirators among healthcare workers in clinical setting.  Recently, he has invented new N95 respirators (with filed Patent) as alternatives with better fit to Chinese healthcare workers.
