About
Professor, Senior consultant Anesthesia/Intensive care (CRNA) and Affiliated researcher at the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC). My research taps on different aspects of person-centred care, such as exploring the organizational aspects of implementing PCC, innovations of PCC products/services as well as evaluation of complex interventions. A recent research area is sharing economies, value-based healthcare and strategic change management. My clinical research in Anesthesia is found within pain management and opioid-free anaesthesia. I am A affiliated researcher at the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC). I lead the Gothenburg Care Lab (www.gothenburgpainlab.com) together with Associate professor/MD Paulin Andrell. I am the chair of the European committee in charge of developing a standard of patient involvement in healthcare.
I have been the operative project leader for several national projects for the development of several strategic platforms for implementation and research regarding PCC within the healthcare sector.
