The education goes under the name "Hospital@Home" and corresponds to five university credits.
– The content itself is unique at university level. Now we will have a two-day consortium meeting on September 10-11 in Forum Medicum for the 15 project participants, says CASE researcher Agneta Malmgren Fänge, responsible for Lund University's part in the project.
Project collaborators are Gunilla Carlsson, Magnus C Persson, Jeanette Johansson and Helene Åvik Persson. The three-year project has lasted one year and is financed by InterReg with a total budget of just over 50 million Swedish kronor.
The consortium consists of eight organizations in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. In addition to Lund University, the Norwegian hospitals Nordsjælland Hospital and Sahlgrenska University Hospital, the Danish universities Copenhagen Professional College, Østfold University College and three private companies participate; Mount Visual, Skill Habit and Copenhagen Game Lab.
– It is unusual to produce a joint education for several countries, with courses of this nature at university level, says Magnus C Persson, research administrator with a special interest in e-health.
– It should fit in these three countries even though we have different systems, says CASE researcher Gunilla Carlsson.
The training corresponds to three and a half weeks of full-time studies and is expected to start in Lund, Copenhagen and Østfold as a pilot in the spring of 2025 and on a full scale in 2026.
