We had a fruitful exchange trip to The University of Tokyo in August, where we exchanged ideas with students from the Global Nursing Research Center (GNRC) of The University of Tokyo, University of Pennsylvania, British Colombia, Mahidol University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our visits to The University of Tokyo Hospital, GNRC and McDonald House were eye-opening. We were honoured to participate in a multidisciplinary ward round for pressure injuries, which amazingly consisted of nurses, doctors, dietitian, researchers, physiotherapist, podiatrist etc. No wonder UTokyo Hospital can maintain an ultra-low pressure injury rate. Heartfelt thanks to all the faculty members in the Division of Health Sciences and Nursing and the Department of Gerontological Nursing and Wound Care Management of The University of Tokyo.
