U21 Research Postgraduate Symposium Hosted Alongside Nursing Forum

For the second year in a row, the School organised the online U21 Research Postgraduate Symposium in which 11 postgraduate students from five U21 universities, including Fudan University, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, The University of Auckland, University of Johannesburg and HKU, presented their research projects. The event was held on December 8 during the 11^th Hong Kong International Nursing Forum.

The symposium was chaired and moderated by Dr Julia Slark, Coordinator of the U21 Health Sciences Group (HSG) Deans of Nursing and Midwifery Group. Faculty members from the five participating universities voted on the Outstanding Presentation Award and the Peers’ Choice Award was voted on by presenters.

Two PhD students from HKU School of Nursing, Ms Rose Lin Sin-yi and Mr Matthew Chau Siu-long, were the two out of three recipients of the Peers’ Choice Presentation Award. Ms Lin was also one of two awardees to win the Outstanding Presentation Award.
