Dear nursing institutions in four places on both sides of the Strait,
Welcome to the website of the Chinese Consortium for Higher Nursing Education (the Consortium).
The Consortium was founded in December 2005 and was initiated by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was initially jointly established by 21 nursing schools in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
The goals of the Consortium are to exchange ideas, knowledge and experience in nurturing nursing professionals, advance the development of higher nursing education to the international level, exhibit the values of Chinese culture in higher nursing education, and serve the health needs of mankind.
The Consortium regularly conducts summer courses, training programmes, and topical discussions and meetings (among member schools) for exchanging ideas. The Consortium has grown over the past fifteen years. As of 2020, the Consortium has around 100 membership of nursing institutions. The West China School of Nursing, Sichuan University, was the convenor of the Consortium in 2012 and 2015. We have taken up the role again in 2019 and 2020.
The West China School of Nursing, Sichuan University, embraces the values of interdisciplinary collaboration and resource sharing. We continue to innovate nursing practice and cultivate innovative nursing talents for promotion and maintenance of well-being of mankind. In 2017, the nursing discipline of the School was included in the “Double First-Class” Initiative discipline construction projects under the Ministry of Education. In 2019, the School was among the first batch of First-Class Undergraduate Discipline Construction Sites, approved by the Ministry of Education. From 2016-2019, for four consecutive years, the nursing discipline of the School topped the Science and Technology Evaluation Metrics (Chinese medical institutes) of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the member schools for their enthusiastic and sincere support over the years. During our convenorship, we will continue to contribute ourselves for the development of the Consortium. The Consortium will continue to act as a bridge between members, be driven by creativity, and provide a leading and scientific-based academic exchange platform for fostering collaboration, innovation, and academic discussions on hot healthcare topics. We hope that we live up to your expectations and share the latest achievements of member institutions for enhancing higher nursing education development in Greater China.
Nursing has a long history of development in our region. Let us join hands and work together! Through exchange and close cooperation, we share and use the international nursing educational resources, integrate the essence of the Eastern and Western nursing education, keep updating our philosophies of education, maintain our teaching and learning quality at a high level, and try to attain the world-class nursing education. Let us nurture excel nursing professionals, who have profound Chinese cultural values and innovative minds, to take up nursing leadership in the future and provide quality health care services for the benefits of mankind.
