The CUHK–University of British Columbia (UBC) International Centre on Nursing Leadership held its inauguration ceremony on 17 April. The centre is an initiative pioneered by the nursing schools of both universities as a breeding ground for nurse leaders to address the need for effective nurse leaders in Hong Kong and the neighbouring region. An internet leadership resource centre will be established to foster networking and collaboration.
