12th Hong Kong International Nursing Forum cum 1st Asia-Pacific Qualitative Health Research Network (AQUHN) Conference
November 30 – December 2, 2022

The 12th Hong Kong International Nursing Forum (HKINF) cum 1st Asia-Pacific Qualitative Health Research Network (AQUHN) Conference was completed on November 30 to December 2, 2022.  This year’s theme of HKINF was “A New Page for Nursing”, scholars revisited the adoption of innovative technology in healthcare and education, reappraised humanity and ethics issues, and addressed the challenges of climate change on health.

In parallel, the inaugural AQUHN conference marked the establishment of the Network intending to foster the rigorous development and application of qualitative and mixed-method designs for health research in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.  The AQUHN member institutions participated in a ceremonial Memorandum of Agreement signing ceremony to launch the Network.

The event was co-organised with 37 partner universities from 20 countries/regions and attracted 1,500 participants worldwide. The audience highly praised this flagship event. With the launch of AQUHN, we look forward to more qualitative health research collaboration.
