A theme talk as well as cap conferment and pinning ceremony took place at the auditorium on the 3rd floor of Kiang Wu Hospital Radiation Building in the morning of 5 May to celebrate the International Nurses Day. 

Vice President of the Women's General Association of Macau and member of the Legislative Assesmbly of the Macao Special Administrative Region Wong Kit Cheng and Vice Chairman of Macau Economic Association and Honorary Advisor of Global Tourism Economy Research Centre Ieong Tou Hong were invited as the keynote speakers of the theme talk, who covered topics on "The Road to Success – With the Initial Passion of Being a Nurse" and "An Analysis of the Prospects of the Tourism Industry of Macao and the West Coast of the Pearl River Estuary". As an alumna, Wong Kit Cheng recalled her memories of growing up in the College and encouraged her successors not to give up, be confident, attentive and sympathetic at all times so as to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Dr. Ieong Tou Hong expressed his gratitude to all nursing personnel through this event. He then shared information on the development plan and prospects of China and Macao to the audience. Dr. Ieong expressed that the Bay Area is the key area of the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao cooperation, and Macao can continue to play the former role as the connecting point for Maritime Silk Road through the development of its marine tourism, which can therefore align with the development of Macao as a world tourism and leisure centre.
