Hear from our participants 

Enjoyed the class and learnt a lot in the 3-day course. Prof Andy's dedication to the subject matter was palpable.
Content was intense and dark (death, suicide) but it did not feel that way given the delicate and engaging delivery by
Prof Andy. Much appreciate the effort to contextualise the learning for us through the case studies on Singapore and

Hong Kong. I am not sure if there can be a better person to teach this course.

I would like to thank Prof Andy Ho for his dedication and professionalism in delivering a very engaging and thought-provoking course. He has a knack of not just making us feel heard, but also drawing insights from our input that we

ourselves might not be aware of. Thanks to the eye-opening course on Ageing & the End of Life, I now fully appreciate the benefits of advance care planning as well as death education and have been looking for opportunities to share these with friends and family members so we can all be empowered to have a "good death".
