CHIEH-HSIU LIU │劉介修

Welcome to my website. I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), and a practising geriatrician at NCKU Hospital in Taiwan.

My work sits at the intersection of geriatric medicine, health services research, and long-term care policy. I explore how health and social care services and policies can respond to ageing societies—particularly through integrated, person-centred approaches that connect hospital and community support, and make care more timely, better coordinated, and more humane for older people and their family caregivers. I use mixed methods and interdisciplinary approaches, with a strong emphasis on clinical and policy relevance. 

I received a DPhil in Social Policy from the University of Oxford, an MD from Kaohsiung Medical University, and an MSc in Health Policy from National Taiwan University, and I completed residency and specialty training in geriatrics and family medicine at National Taiwan University Hospital.

Alongside academic work, I am engaged in international collaborations and policy work. In Taiwan, I serve on the Long-Term Care Policy Advisory Board at the National Health Research Institutes and collaborate with government and civil society organisations to strengthen long-term care and caregiver support.

My current projects include developing and evaluating a Family Caregiver Clinic model in geriatric practice (dyadic care management, care navigation, and social prescribing), building hospital-to-community social prescribing networks, supporting inclusive community initiatives in rapidly growing semiconductor towns, and creating community-oriented geriatrics curricula for medical and interdisciplinary students.
