Over many decades Hong Kong has developed a highly efficient and world-class healthcare system which provides accessible and affordable healthcare to the entire community. Thanks to the diligence and devotion of our nurses and all sectors of the healthcare profession, Hong Kong has made extraordinary advances in public health. Our city is consistently ranked among the best in the world in major health indicators such as life expectancy and infant mortality. The selfless dedication and commitment of our nurses had helped to ease the pain of patients, bring comfort to families in distress, and win the trust and respect of our community. As we recognize the contributions of nurses around the world, I am pleased to note that the more than 40 000 nurses in Hong Kong make up the largest sector of our city’s healthcare workforce. The inauguration of the Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing is further evidence of the profession’s aspirations to improve and expand through continuing education and promoting excellence. I am confident that our nurses will keep pace with the ever-changing healthcare needs of our society and I wish you all every success in your careers. 2 INAUGURATION OF THE PROVISIONAL HONG KONG ACADEMY OF NURSING Patron’s Address Dr. Hon LEONG Che Hung, GBM, GBS, JP Member, Executive Council, HKSAR Patron, The Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to the establishment I of the Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing (PHKAN) and the conferment of over 1500 Fellows on the day of 12 May 2012! I witness the historical pathway of the formation of the PHKAN since the initial effort that started in 2002. A group of dedicated nurse leaders in Hong Kong have been working diligently and faithfully to achieve a common goal, that is, the establishment of a HKAN with statutory status. The establishment of PHKAN is a step moving closer to this goal. This movement is important in three ways. First, with the advancement of health care and the increasing complexity of illness pattern, we need a team of health care professionals who possess specialized and high level knowledge and skills. The medical doctors have already developed a mature system for governing specialty medical practice. Nurses, who work as partners with doctors in providing comprehensive care to clients from disease treatment to rehabilitation, also need to be equipped with relevant advanced nursing knowledge and skills to be a member of a strong health care team. Second, the public has high expectations on client service. And rightly so, health care is a matter of life and death. The regulation of nursing specialty practice helps to protect the public by ensuring that the services they receive are delivered by certified competent practitioners. Third, Hong Kong is an international city. If we wish to maintain our competitive edges in the world, we must excel in all aspects including economic development as well as human services. Advanced nursing practice is well supported with postgraduate education, legal protection of the title and clear defined career path in developed countries. The establishment of the PHKAN, and hopefully not too long afterwards the HKAN, is a correct and necessary move for nurses and Hong Kong at large. I encourage all the nurses in Hong Kong, under the leadership of the 14 specialty colleges and the PHKAN, to help build a healthier and stronger Hong Kong! Best wishes with the success of the PHKAN in the years to come! INAUGURATION OF THE PROVISIONAL HONG KONG ACADEMY OF NURSING 3 President’s Address Dr. LUM Shun Sui Susie President, The Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing am delighted to welcome you all here on this auspicious day of the I inauguration of the Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing (the “PHKAN”). It is my great pleasure to celebrate and witness together with you the inauguration of the Academy and its 14 specialty academy colleges, as well as the conferment of honorary/founding fellows and fellows of the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing. The aims of the PHKAN are: (1) establish the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing as a statutory body to regulate the nursing profession; and (2) enhance excellence in nursing service and health care in Hong Kong through promotion of specialist nursing education and practices. The actualization of the vision to establish an independent organization to regulate advanced specialty practice for the nursing profession started 10 years ago through the concerted efforts of nurse leaders, specialty nurses, and academics from different sectors. Leaders from all nursing specialties had worked day and night with their colleagues to complete the colossal task of accrediting the Academy Colleges and their fellows. My special thanks to our Secretariat and the Accreditation and Registration Team who have laboured arduously under tight deadlines to complete the project on schedule and made this inauguration possible. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the honorary fellows, founding fellows, grandfather/grandmother fellows for their passion and significant contributions to the advancement of the nursing profession, and their tremendous support to the founding of PHKAN. I would also like to especially applaud Dr. C.H. Leong, our Patron, for his valuable guidance to the preparatory committee, and his vision and commitment to advance nursing practice and nursing education. My heartfelt thanks to the over 1,500 nurses and friends of nurses present here today - we could not have achieved this milestone without your enthusiastic support, endorsement and encouragement. I must also say “thank you” for allowing the opportunity, placing the trust and bestowing the honor on me to lead the founding of the PHKAN. The Hong Kong Academy of Nursing is the professional association established to govern nursing practices in Hong Kong. It is set up with two 4 INAUGURATION OF THE PROVISIONAL HONG KONG ACADEMY OF NURSING President’s Address key objectives: first, to help nurses; and second, to help those they serve. It is to lead growth and advancement of the nursing profession, and promote collaboration and solidarity among nurse specialties. It also promotes the highest professional, ethical and governance standards in partnership with the Government and other professional bodies to provide nursing services of excellence to the community. The PHKAN’s objectives can only be achieved if all of us - nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, academics, government officials, patient representatives in public or private hospitals - irrespective of our roles and responsibilities, work in close collaboration and devotion. This spirit of collaboration and fellowship was demonstrated in full force at the setting up of the PHKAN. I am confident that the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing, when formally established, will foster and promote this spirit to new heights. The PHKAN’s current priority is to establish the Academy as a statutory body and along with it, an ordinance enacted to empower the Academy to endow official accreditation to nursing professionals. Good progress has been made with the support and facilitation of the Government, other professional associations and the community. We are hopeful that the enactment process will start soon. PHKAN is grateful for the generous support of the Hospital Authority licensing the use of the nursing school office at Princess Margaret Hospital as the operating office for the PHKAN and Academy Colleges. For the Academy to provide educational services and execute governance duties under its charter, a larger and more befitting facility will be required. In this regard, your support in any capacity, either financially or through volunteer efforts, will be vital for its realization. The inauguration of the PHKAN is just a first step in the long journey towards administering a statutory organization dedicated to advance the nursing profession for a better and healthier Hong Kong. I shall remain committed more than ever to supporting the Academy and serving the nursing profession. And I am confident that I shall have your enthusiastic support for us to reach the many milestones together. INAUGURATION OF THE PROVISIONAL HONG KONG ACADEMY OF NURSING 5 Congratulatory Messages Dr. LAM Ping Yan, JP Director of Health Advisor, The Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing would like to offer my wholehearted congratulations to The Provisional I Hong Kong Academy of Nursing on its inauguration.

Providing well-maintained and up-to-date facilities that meet the needs of our community remains our top priority.

One of the highlights was the first Muse Fest in the summer of 2015, which offered a rich celebration of all 14 museums under the auspices of the LCSD through a wide array of fun-filled activities and enriching experiences for the community.
