This year’s Forum entitled “Hand in Hand Creating Tomorrow: Nursing Practice, Education and Research” was one of the celebratory events of the Medical Faculty’s 130 Years of Medicine in Hong Kong. The Forum has brought together scholars and professionals from different countries and cultures to share their experiences and served as a very useful platform for dialogues and exchanges among nursing professionals around the world. Over 500 delegates from 14 countries/regions and a record high of 36 co-organisers attended and supported this scientific forum. Excellent feedback on the quality of the presentations and the success of the Forum were received. We were honored to have Professor Sophia Chan, Secretary for Food and Health, to deliver the Opening Remarks at the Opening Ceremony. The Forum ended on a high note with three Post-Forum Events - visits to Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital, Jockey Club Home for Hospice; and the Nursing Clinical Skills Laboratory and Simulation Training Centre of the School of Nursing. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the contribution of our co-organisers, supporters and sponsors.
