劉卓之（LAU Cheuk Chi）係香港體育學院運動醫學科嘅助理總監，長年負責統籌體院精英運動員嘅運動醫學同復康支援。體院運動醫學科由運動醫學總監容啟怡博士領軍，劉卓之同多位高級運動物理治療師並肩工作，職責涵蓋運動創傷嘅預防、評估、治療同復康，並為羽毛球、劍擊、游泳、乒乓球等多個重點項目嘅港隊運動員提供跨專業支援。佢嘅服務對象既包括正處於備戰高峰期嘅現役運動員，亦包括需要長期復康嘅傷患運動員，講求醫療、體能同科研團隊之間緊密協作。除咗體院嘅日常工作，劉卓之多次以代表團醫療人員身分隨隊出戰大型綜合運動會。佢先後獲納入中國香港代表團出戰2020年東京奧運、2022年杭州亞運同2024年巴黎奧運嘅醫療隊伍名單，負責比賽期間嘅即場醫療、物理治療同運動員健康管理。香港代表團嘅醫療隊伍一般由首席醫生、首席物理治療師帶領，再配合醫生、物理治療師同其他醫療人員，喺賽事期間為運動員提供即時支援。大型綜合運動會賽期緊湊、項目繁多，醫療隊伍要喺短時間內處理唔同項目嘅傷患，對統籌同應變能力要求極高，而劉卓之嘅角色正正喺呢個層面發揮作用。能夠連續獲委任為多屆大型運動會港隊醫療團隊成員，反映佢喺本地運動醫學界嘅專業地位，亦見證香港體育學院運動醫學科喺支援運動員征戰國際賽事上嘅制度化角色。

Lau Cheuk Chi is the Associate Director (Sports Medicine) at the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI), the government-funded statutory body that identifies and trains Hong Kong's elite athletes and provides the city's representative teams with a central training base, sports-science input and medical support. She works within the Institute's Sports Medicine Department, which is led by Sports Medicine Director Dr Raymond So and includes a team of senior sports physiotherapists. Her responsibilities span the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries for athletes across a wide range of priority sports, including badminton, fencing, swimming and table tennis. Because elite athletes train and compete on demanding schedules, much of her work depends on close coordination between the medical, conditioning and sports-science teams rather than treatment in isolation. Beyond her day-to-day duties, Lau has repeatedly been named to the medical team of the Hong Kong, China delegation at major multi-sport Games. She was included in the delegation medical staff for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with responsibility for on-site medical care, physiotherapy and athlete health management during competition. At these Games, a travelling medical team, usually led by a chief medical officer and a chief physiotherapist and supported by doctors, physiotherapists and other medical personnel, must handle injuries across many sports within a very short period. The scale of a multi-sport Games, where events run almost continuously and athletes may compete in several rounds over a few days, places a premium on coordination and rapid decision-making, precisely the kind of support that a senior sports-medicine administrator provides. Repeated appointment to such delegations reflects Lau's standing in the local sports-medicine field and illustrates the institutional role that the HKSI's Sports Medicine Department plays in supporting Hong Kong athletes on the international stage.
