Leadership and Mentoring programme

Our Leadership and Mentoring programme is the core of the Academy. Every year we bring together some twenty leaders in health care for 12-15 days of intensive learning and networking spread out over a year.

The programme aims to inspire interest, provide the tools and influence conditions for better leadership in Swedish health care. All participants get a one-to-one mentorship relation with a senior leader in health care or research. Space for discussions and is important in the programme. All participants have several years of experience in leadership positions in health care.

The program is based on visits to interesting health care and research institutions, lectures and workshops with experienced leaders from health care and other areas. During the course of the year we will add to your “Leadership Tool Box”, explore the regulatory environment; gaps, overlaps, good care and workflow, discuss different forms of ownership, recruitment, project management and transformation processes.

The program also includes a study trip abroad. This year we are going to Iceland, at the invitation of the Icelandic Ministry of Health. Iceland is an interesting melting pot of different medical traditions since the country to a large extent relies on health professionals that has trained and worked abroad.

“My motivation as a leader in health care is to make a difference to those we are here for – the patients”
