Y. K. Pao Foundation Centre for​
Nursing Excellence in Chronic Illness Care​

With the generous donation from the Y. K. Pao Foundation, our School established the Y. K. Pao Foundation Centre for Nursing Excellence in Chronic Illness Care in 2014 to address the rising burden of chronic illnesses and develop the next generation of nurses with the necessary knowledge and skills in chronic illness care (CIC). The Centre offers a scholarship scheme to recognise outstanding nursing students’ scholastic excellence and commitment in CIC; and a nursing student development scheme comprising a range of student-centred activities to strengthen our students’ capacity for CIC. These student-centred activities include a student exchange programme, a PhD fellowship programme, professional development workshops and seminars, etc.
