Nursing supports the World Health
Organization's goal of "Health for All in the 21st Century." We
believe that education of nurses must be based on a
global perspective
of nursing and health service delivery, with specialized content that
prepares faculty and students to study and work in targeted areas of
the world. |

HCGNE
director, Dr. Neville E. Strumpf, has
accepted an appointment to serve as a member
of the Health Sciences Panel in the Research
Assessment Exercise (RAE) for the University
Grants Committee (UCG) of Hong Kong. The main
function of the UGC is to advise the Hong Kong
government on the disbursement of appropriate
funds to UGC funded Institutions, of which there
are 8 in Hong Kong. The RAE for 2006 is to assess
the quality of the research output of the eligible
academic staff of the 8 UGC funded institutions,
so as to assist the UGC in assessing the allocation
of a part of the recurrent research funding for
the UGC funded sector. Much of the work will
be done at a distance, but Neville will travel
to Hong Kong next fall to participate in the
final decisions. She is the only nurse serving
on this panel, which includes an international
group of researchers. |
