It was our great pleasure to be selected for the exchange programme at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (UoA) in Greece. This trip allowed us to broaden our horizons and enhance our knowledge in nursing education through multiple visits to different hospitals and healthcare institutions in Greece. We identified differences in the healthcare systems between Hong Kong and Greece and saw how Greek nurses deliver their nursing care to patients. This exchange programme enabled us to explore nursing more and reflect on what kind of nurse we would like to be in the future. These experiences have definitely helped us to build confidence.

Apart from school and healthcare institute visits, we also saw historical sites and picturesque scenic spots, which gave us a lot of memories. This programme provided us with a precious chance to explore not only the beauty of Greece, but also another aspect related to our profession. We highly recommend this exchange programme.
