President Message

Dear Members,

It is my greatest honor and privilege to serve as the President of the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing and Midwifery (HKANM) from 20 June 2026. I am deeply grateful for the trust and confidence you have placed in me, and I stand firmly committed to advancing the Academy's vision of promoting excellence in nursing and midwifery practice, fostering leadership through advanced professional development, and ultimately serving the best interests of our profession and the community.

Throughout my career, I have been privileged to serve in various leadership roles across clinical practice, healthcare management, education, and professional development — including as Chief Nursing Officer in both the public and private sectors. These experiences have given me invaluable insights into healthcare transformation, advanced practice development and workforce advancement. Serving as the Vice President and Council in HKANM over the years and my past contributions in shaping core competencies and professional standards for Advanced Practice Nursing in Hong Kong, I am confident to work with 14 Academy Colleges not only accomplish the HKANM’s core missions but also continuously foster local, national and international collaboration and bringing Hong Kong’s rich expertise to Greater Bay Area and the global nursing and midwifery communities.

As President, I am dedicated to working closely with our Council, Fellows, healthcare institutions, academic partners, and stakeholders to further strengthen professional excellence, support advanced specialized practice, and foster robust leadership development. Together, we will enhance the impact of our profession on population health, champion evidence-based care, encourage innovation, and advocate for the vital contributions of our nurses and midwives in shaping the future of healthcare in Hong Kong and beyond.

This year, we continue to steadfastly pursue our mission of establishing a statutory credentialing system to protect the public and legitimize advanced nursing practice, while simultaneously driving engagement through our Young Fellows Chapter. Additionally, to better serve our expanding community, we have acquired a new office property near the Kowloon Bay MTR station. Currently undergoing renovation, this place will serve as a convenient, nurturing hub for all our Fellows and members. Furthermore, the Academy is proud to step into its role as one of the mandatory Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) administrators accredited by the Nursing Council of Hong Kong. With our collective expertise, dedication, and passion, I look forward to working with you to build upon our strong foundation. Let us embrace the journey ahead, strive toward an even brighter future, and turn our upcoming challenges into historic opportunities.
