The Grace Tien Lecture 2016 was held successfully on December 5, 2016, in the presence of Professor Sophia Chan, Under Secretary for Food and Health, Professor Peter Mathieson, the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Gabriel Leung, Dean of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, and other distinguished guests. This year, Professor Linda Sarna, Dean, School of Nursing, the University of California Los Angeles, was invited to deliver a Lecture entitled “Accelerating Nursing Action for a Smoke-free World”.  We were honored to have Professor Chan to deliver the Opening Address. The Lecture was well-attended with excellent feedback from the audience. 

It was the 9th Grace Tien Lecture since the first lecture in 2004. The Grace Tien Visiting Professorship in Nursing Studies was established, in late 2003 with the sponsorship of the family of the late Mrs. Grace Tien. The School held the yearly named lecture to invite internationally renowned scholars to deliver a distinguished lecture in Hong Kong, to foster the exchange of experience and insights in nursing through the generous donation of the Tien family. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the contribution of the Tien family and also our supporters.
