It is a recent trend that development of medical and social collaboration in supporting carers and patients is considered in
both healthcare and social welfare systems. Patients, carers, and healthcare system would be benefited from such kind of
collaboration.

From 2011, a project on SMARTCare movement was launched by The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation. It was designed
to improve the well-being of chronic illnesses carers and provide an early intervention support through medical and social
collaboration since 2012. With strategic partnership and support from the Hospital Authority Hong Kong East Cluster, an
early intervention support and referral system, a carer collaborative platform, and a Carer Community Empowerment Service
were introduce to build up an effective network for carers in our community.

In this talk, our service experience in supporting carer through medical-social collaboration will be shared.
