The past year has been eventfull for the Academy, we have strengthened the board with new competence. Ann-Marie Begler, Kent Nauclér, Stefan Bergh and Birgir Jakobsson has have joined the board during the course of the year. Our Mentor- and Management programme has had another successful year with 29 participants from Swedish health care and was finalized with graduation in conjunction with the Leadership Day in December. We welcome 29 new alumni to our network!

Starting 2020 the programme name will change to Leadership- and Mentor programme, which better reflects the contents of the programme. The focus of the programme will be on meetings with active leaders in health care, combined with input from systemic regulators, international outlook, inspiring and practical work shops and an own mentorship relation with a respected leader in health care.

The Leadership Day and awards ceremony for Future Leader of the year took place at the Karolinska Institute. We congratulate this year’s winner Andreas Kling.
