This paper is based on a study which investigated the perceptions and expectations held by nominated nurse experts from Hong Kong, concerning the future developments of nursing education in the local context. A modified Delphi survey method was utilized to gain a consensus of opinion regarding the leadership role that the Hong Kong Polytechnic's newly established Nursing Studies Section should play. The findings suggested that the present plans proposed by the section were inadequate and in juxtaposition with the expectations held by nursing education experts working in this field. The respondents indicated that the section should take total responsibility for post‐basic nursing education, nursing research activities, curriculum development in association with the hospital schools of nursing and assisting clinical staff in the development of clinical and management practice.
