| Chinese Health Website & Internet Drop-In |
| This project was aimed at providing a more convenient channel for Chinese people to access health-related information, better understand, and thus better access, health services in UK. It served as a pilot scheme for a potentially longer and more widespread programme. |
| The major beneficiaries were Chinese people who lack English language skills or those who live in dispersed areas. This programme helped them in gaining a better understanding and consequently resulting in greater utilisation of mainstream health care services. |
| People without access to a computer or who lack Internet surfing skills would also benefit from this programme. During visits to our Internet drop-in, they could learn basic computing skills through one-to-one teaching from our project coordinator. |
| The Internet Drop-In was officially opened on the 2nd September 2003. Clients are welcome to use this service between Tuesday and Friday, 10am to 4pm. No appointment neccessary. |
| The Health in Chinese website (www.healthinchinese.com) was officially launched in January 2005, providing health information in Chinese for the UK Chinese community. |
