With the precious support from all our nurses and advisors, as well as the selfless efforts of the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing Preparatory Committee (HKANPC), the Provisional Hong Kong Academy of Nursing Limited (PHKAN) was established on 6 October 2011. Its establishment marked another milestone of Hong Kong nursing development. The Academy is committed to not only promoting the improvement of nursing care by developing continuing education for nurses and midwives but also fostering a spirit of collaboration in the nursing community through constant updates and exchange of information among nurses and health practitioners.
