 | Dr. Victor SOONG Ophthalmology Resident Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital |
| Speaker Profile | Dr. Victor Soong (MBBS) is an Ophthalmology Resident at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. An Elizabeth and Arthur Cobbold Fellowship recipient, Victor has been recognised for his passion for global health and improving access to healthcare in developing countries. Victor has participated in international medical missions across the Philippines, Tanzania, Vanuatu, and Turkey, contributing to health promotion, education, and frontline primary care in resource-constrained environments. Working alongside local clinicians has provided him with firsthand experience of how limited resources and local context can shape the success of even the best-intentioned projects. These experiences have reinforced his belief that meaningful impact requires more than delivering care; it requires adaptability, a collaborative approach, and a focus on sustainability. Victor brings this perspective to the intersection of project management and healthcare, exploring how teams can work together to create solutions that endure beyond the life of any single project. |
| Topic | Managing What Matters: Lessons From Beyond The Hospital |
| Topic Abstract | What do a major metropolitan hospital, remote medical clinic, and corporate project team have in common? More than you might initially think. Drawing on experiences in hospital medicine and international medical missions, Dr. Victor Soong explores how the fundamentals of project management emerge when outcomes are life and death, resources are limited, and plans inevitably meet reality. Through stories of success, adaptation, and failure, he examines the importance of planning, environmental context, and sustainability, and the distinction between providing a service and creating lasting value. Ultimately, the lessons extend well beyond healthcare. Effective projects are not defined by perfect plans or conditions, but rather by our ability to adapt, collaborate and build outcomes that endure. |
