Learning and Leadership for Health Care ProfessionalsAbout Julia Bäck
Julia Bäck is an intensive care nurse and holds a Master's degree from Luleå University of Technology. In recent years, she has worked as a university lecturer in the nursing program at the University of Borås, where she has primarily taught courses with a focus on pharmacology and specific nursing care. Her doctoral project, "Development and Evaluation of a Person-Centered Elderly Care Unit with and for elderly persons in collaboration with municipal and regional primary care," is part of the SHIP collaboration and is funded by the SHIFT CARE research school. Main supervisor for the project is Zahra Ebrahimi and assisting supervisors are Inger Jansson (Göteborgs universitet), Annelie Sundler (Högskolan i Borås) and Stina Isaksson (FOUI, Södra älvsborgs sjukhus). Julia believes well-functioning, integrated care units for frail elderly individuals are an important components of a functional and sustainable care chain for the future's aging population with complex care needs, and she hopes that the project can contribute knowledge in this regard.
