11th Serena Yang Lecture
The School was delighted to welcome Professor Hugh McKenna, Professor of Nursing at the School of Nursing at Ulster University, to be the distinguished speaker at the 11th Serena Yang Lecture on June 1.
Professor McKenna spoke on “The Pursuit of Excellence in Research Within Nursing: Challenges and Opportunities in the Next Decade”. He called for more interdisciplinary research, co-design & co-production, emphasising prevention rather than concentrating solely on cure, sophistication in the use of information technology, as well as the involvement of nursing in planetary health. This insightful presentation was well-received by the participants.
The School was also honoured to have Dr Libby Lee Ha-yun, Under Secretary for Health in the HKSAR Government, deliver an officiating address and Professor Vivian Lin Kwang-wen, Executive Associate Dean of HKUMed, deliver welcoming remarks.
The Serena Yang Lecture Series is a tribute to Dr Serena Yang for her generosity and support to the School in achieving its major mission of nurturing nursing practitioners, educators and scientists. Distinguished speakers and renowned scholars are invited to speak on a topic that is timely for both nursing practitioners and academics.
