Nursing Summer Programme 2019

47 senior secondary school students from different schools participated in the five-day “Nursing Summer Programme” from August 1 to 5, 2019, during which they learned more about how professional nurses serve the community.

The participants were guided by teachers and current students from the School, who provided insightful lectures, tours of our state-of-the-art Simulated Nursing Skills Training Centre, and basic nursing skills demonstrations, such as wound dressing, removal of staples, and blood pressure and SaO2 measurement. These activities provided the secondary school students with a taste of the School’s holistic approach to nursing education, as well as the advanced learning environment and facilities at HKU.

The participants also visited the Jockey Club Life Journey Centre and went on field trips to improve their understanding of the health needs of society and the importance of quality nursing care. A distinctive HKU tradition, the High Table Dinner, was also organized for the participants so they could chat informally with our teachers and students and enjoy a wonderful night at HKU.
