Pinning Ceremony 2023

Congratulations to the Class of 2023! The N23 graduates celebrated with a memorable Pinning Ceremony on June 7, 2023, where Professor Gilberto Leung Ka-kit, HKUMed’s Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning), welcomed them into the nursing profession. Professor Chia-Chin Lin, Director of HKU School of Nursing, gave the opening remarks in which she encouraged the graduates to persevere in their professional endeavours. Each graduate received a pin from honourable guests and teachers on stage, to signify this milestone in their nursing education and symbolise their commitment to upholding high professional standards.

Mr Lawrence Poon Yan-wing, then Chief Manager (Nursing)/ Chief Nurse Executive, Hospital Authority Head Office, led the graduates in reciting the Nightingale Pledge while holding candles. The ritual is infused with the spirit and inspiration of Florence Nightingale.

To conclude the ceremony, two N23 student representatives delivered a vote of thanks to the attendees, who included parents, relatives, teachers and friends. The School was delighted to see our latest graduates join the healthcare community and contribute their knowledge and skills to the healthcare system.
