Exercise Medical Referral Scheme
This Exercise Medical Referral Scheme aims to increase students' awareness of personal health and encourage active healthy lifestyles through exercise incentives, personal guidance, and referral support among HKU professionals.
Under this scheme, the physical activity level of those visiting the UHS clinic or the CEDARS counselling services are assessed as a vital sign. Students in need of more exercise opportunities could then be appropriately referred to the professional care and supervision they need.

Exercise is Medicine on Campus is designed to engage students to improve physical fitness, health and wellness across campus.
