“Do a master’s here – I’d say it’s a very good step to doing a PhD in Sweden. I did my master’s at Malmö University and now I’m doing a PhD at Lund University” – Sanjay, Malmö University. Photo: Oskar Omne

So that means – no tuition fees, no scholarships. But you’ll receive a monthly salary instead. Nice, eh? And that’s why available PhD positions are listed on a university’s job board.

How to apply for a PhD position? You’ll apply directly to the university.

Just so you know, there’s no centralised application process. And things like requirements and application dates? This kind of stuff is decided by each department. But we do know that you’ll need to have a master’s degree – in the same field of study – and a great level of English to apply for a PhD here. You might even need to be fluent in Swedish. But that’ll depend on the subject.

Nurse working at hospital

Welcome to the Institute of Health and Care Sciences, which is part of the Sahlgrenska Academy. We provide excellence in nursing education and research. Our graduates are well prepared for the ever changing needs of healthcare and the society's increasing demand for nurses and health care research. We educate nurses, midwives and radiographers in the first, second and third cycle of higher education. We also provide contract education for professionals.

Health and care research focuses on people's experiences and understanding of disease, illness and suffering. Both regarding recovery and in the preservation and promotion of health. Health and care sciences deal with both the biological body and socio-cultural structures. Knowledge translation and organization of healthcare are also central themes in health care research. At the University of Gothenburg, health and care sciences is profiled towards person-centered care in both research and education. The Institute of health and care sciences is home to seven research groups and a research centre in person-centred care.

Research in the health and care sciences concerns people’s experiences of illness, distress and health. The research is also conducted in conjunction with recovery, the retention and promotion of good health as well as in sociocultural structures and in relation to the body as a biological system. Learning is a central part of health and care sciences, as is the organisation of healthcare.

PhD studies at Uppsala University

Uppsala University, like most universities in Sweden, regards PhD students as employees. Rather than apply for a doctoral programme, candidates must apply for an available doctoral position. PhD applications are handled by the relevant department. In addition to postgraduate studies, doctoral students are usually offered some form of departmental duties such as administration or teaching for up to 20 per cent of their time.

Open PhD positions at Uppsala University.

Programme content

Uppsala University’s PhD programmes are comprised of courses and a dissertation in which students carry out a unique and significant individual research project. The project may result in either a monograph thesis, which is a cohesive scientific work, or a compilation thesis consisting of several scientific articles and a summary.

A PhD degree is equivalent to four years of full-time study; however, after two years of studies students can graduate with a licentiate degree.

Our PhD programmes give students the knowledge and skills to conduct independent research, a deep understanding of the subject area, and the ability to teach.

To be admitted as a doctoral student, candidates must:

  • fulfil the entry requirements stated in the announcement
  • possess good English language skills
  • have the ability to cope with the programme

Insurance for doctoral students with stipends

Uppsala University provides insurance cover for doctoral students whose studies are funded through a stipend. This insurance consists of three parts:

  • Sickness benefit
  • Parental benefit
  • Temporary parental benefit

International PhD students are also covered by Uppsala University’s group and personal insurance that provides accident insurance around the clock.

These insurance schemes are both managed by the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency (Kammarkollegiet). Please note that illness, parental benefit or claiming of temporary parental benefit must be reported to [email protected] no later than on the second day of sick leave or parental leave.

Doctoral studies

Start your academic career with us and make a difference

World-class research, outstanding research staff and specialised research environments at Lund University create excellent conditions for doctoral students.

As a doctoral student at Lund University, you will not only be well prepared for a successful career as an independent researcher, but you will also have the possibility to publish your work independently during your studies and to gain significant teaching experience.

  • Lund University offers doctoral education in all nine faculties
  • There are no tuition fees for doctoral education at Lund University
  • You apply directly to the relevant faculty/department when they advertise a doctoral position
  • Self-funded doctoral students should contact the department of their research interest directly.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to a doctoral programme, you need to have completed courses of at least 240 credits (of which at least 60 credits must be for Master’s level studies) or acquired equivalent knowledge in some other way.

In most cases, students will hold a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree, with a major in the same subject as the intended postgraduate study. The major must include a degree thesis presenting the results of independent research.

The quality of your thesis/theses is of particular importance and it is important that you demonstrate a capacity for independent thinking in this piece of work.

Students must have a very good command of English and you may be asked to include proof of proficiency in the form of a TOEFL or IELTS test, if requested by the individual department.

Admission rules for doctoral education at Lund University | 2022 (PDF 249 kB, new tab)

Applying for a doctoral (PhD) position

Doctoral education is organised at the faculty or department level. Application procedures and periods differ between faculties and departments. While some of them advertise their doctoral positions around the same time every year, mostly in spring, others advertise their positions on an ongoing basis.

You apply for a doctoral education position within a certain subject area. Admission to a doctoral education position is restricted and competition for advertised positions is usually tough.

Finding a suitable position

Any funded doctoral positions at Lund University are advertised on our vacancies page on this website (see link below). Select the category 'Doctoral students'.

Once you have found a position you are interested in, carefully read through the vacancy announcement to find out whether you meet the requirements.

Before you apply, we recommend that you also check the relevant faculty's or department's website for any additional information about the application process.

Should you have any questions about a specific position, please contact the contact person(s) listed in the vacancy announcement.

How to apply

To apply for a doctoral position, you must create an account in the recruitment system Varbi.

Follow the instructions regarding application documents and procedure in the vacancy announcement.

The application documents that you submit through Varbi, including any supporting documents, are sent directly to the faculty or department that advertised the position. 

If you are self-funded through external scholarships or funding, you do not need to create an account in Varbi. You should instead make direct contact with the relevant faculty or department. 

Applying for a position

Employment as a doctoral student

As a general rule, a person admitted to doctoral studies at Lund University is employed through a doctoral studentship.

If you have a doctoral studentship, you are considered to be both a student and an employee with a salary during your doctoral studies. As an employed doctoral student, you are covered by local and central agreements concerning your terms of employment.

In parallel to the doctoral education programme, as a doctoral student you may work with administrative and teaching duties (no more than 20% of a full-time position).

Lund University is responsible for education-related matters and the study environment regardless of how you finance your doctoral studies. All doctoral students also have access to the University’s Occupational Health Service.

Other forms of financing

It is possible to undertake your studies using another form of financing, such as an external scholarship or an agreement between Lund University and an external employer.

Financed by external employer

If you are admitted to doctoral studies and have a position with an employer other than Lund University, you are solely a student, and it is the employer who is responsible for employer-related matters.

External scholarships

As a doctoral student with a scholarship, you are solely a student. You are therefore not entitled to contractual employment benefits at Lund University.

In some cases, a doctoral student with a scholarship is entitled to apply for a doctoral studentship when three years remain of the third-cycle studies.

Doctoral studies – faculty information

On the faculties' webpages for prospective doctoral students you can get specific and detailed information application procedures, admission requirements for various subjects, study plans and more.

  • Faculty of Engineering (LTH)
  • Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts
  • Faculties of Humanities and Theology
  • Faculty of Law
  • Faculty of Medicine
  • Faculty of Science
  • Faculty of Social Sciences
  • School of Economics and Management (LUSEM)

Residence permits (if applicable)

If you require a residence permit, you can only complete your permit application after you receive a letter of acceptance from Lund University. Residence permit applications are dealt with by the Swedish Migration Agency.

Doctoral studies in Sweden

Our doctoral studies take four years and result in a degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), the highest academic degree in Sweden. During this period you will both take advanced courses in your field of interest and work in a original research project.  However, after two years, you might have the possibility to take an intermediate degree of licentiate.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to PhD studies, you need to meet the general entry requirements, the specific entry requirements, and have the ability to successfully complete your studies.

General entry requirements include a completed master’s degree from a Swedish university or at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 at the master’s level, or the corresponding international equivalents.

Institutions may have specific eligibility requirements. Verify the requirements for your area of interest with the relevant institution.

How to apply

One thing that differentiates PhD programmes at Stockholm University and Sweden from those elsewhere is that most of our PhD students are treated like full employees of the university. PhD positions are posted alongside other jobs on our website and applications are made for specific positions. PhD positions can be announced once or twice per year, depending on funding availability.

Before sending your application, you can check the department’s website for further information about the faculty and the possibilities connected with the PhD position. You can also find specific information about the application process in the announce for the position, along with the contact person if you have further questions.

There is usually an opportunity to apply for doctoral studies both in the autumn and spring. On the institutions' websites about doctoral studies, you can find the specific dates applicable to that institution. You can also see the current doctoral positions advertised. 

Find available PhD vacancies at Stockholm University

Funding and financing doctoral studies

In most cases, doctoral students are treated as employees at Stockholm University, which means they receive a salary and other standard benefits of employment.  There is even the possibility for you to extend your period of studies by working with teaching or administrative tasks within your department, up to 20% of a full-time position, which can result in a full extra year of employment as PhD student.

However, it is possible to pursue doctoral studies at Stockholm University also in case you have an external scholarship or special agreement with a company or other external employers. In these special cases, you will be subject to your employer-specific conditions only, and be considered solely a student at Stockholm University.

Residence permits (if applicable)

If you are an international student from a country outside the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), or Switzerland and you plan to pursue a PhD in Sweden, you will need a residence permit to study in the country. The residence permit is required for stays longer than three months.

You will find more information on the Swedish Migration Agency's website:

Nursing Graduate Programs in Sweden

Table of contents.

Graduate Nursing Programs in Sweden are courses of study that could lead to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree, PhD, or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree . In Masters in Nursing (MSN) programs, the emphasis is to generally to prepare registered nurses to pursue top advanced nursing practice roles such as nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse educator, nurse administrator and for doctoral study.

Sponsored Results

Doctor of Nursing (DNP) programs typically stress the translation of research into practice, leadership, and more advanced nursing practice . By contrast, the focus of PhD in Nursing programs is often to develop nurse scientists and clinical scholars who might best lead in expert clinical practice, teaching and research.

What are Types of Graduate Nursing Programs?

When it comes to graduate nursing programs, there are many options that consider diverse nursing education levels and career goals. You could look for programs that are available by degree level (BSN-MSN, MSN, PhD, DNP, Certificates) and further narrow your choices by nursing specialty (e.g. Nurse Practitioner, Nursing Education). Or, if you do not yet have a bachelor of science in nursing, you might find Accelerated Nursing programs that could serve as a bridge to a nursing graduate degree. Below are a few examples of the types of nursing degrees that might be found at the graduate level.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing to Master of Science in NursingB.S.N. - M.S.N.2 years
Master of Science in NursingM.S.N.2 years
Doctor of Nursing PracticeD.N.P.2 to 3 years
Doctor of Philosophy in NursingPh.D.3 years minium

Masters in Nursing (MSN) Programs

The AACN calls the masters degree in nursing “the educational core that allows advanced practice nurses to work as nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, certified clinical nurse specialists, and certified nurse anesthetists.” Most Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs include both coursework and clinical experience. While program lengths and time to completion varies, a full-time student might be able to complete their program in about two years. From there, graduates might be prepared to sit for national certification exam(s) in their chosen area of nursing. If this is your goal, you can check with a state’s board of nursing for more information.

MSN Degree Program Curriculum

Most MSN programs start out with a series of core courses. Concepts from nursing and information science could help nurses think critically, make ethical judgements and grasp the complexities of health care policy. Courses in research methods usually cover data analysis and statistics to help nurses promote public health to communities and populations. Other courses could help students build practical skills such as communication. They might also help nurses learn to collaborate or resolve conflicts whether with colleagues or patients. Finally, students might take several support courses that could cover advanced health assessment, pathophysiology and pharmacology .

What are MSN Nursing Specialties?

Nursing masters programs provide key nursing education for advanced practice nurses (APRN) to be eligible to pursue licensure as nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, certified clinical nurse specialists, and certified nurse anesthetists. Beyond these roles, there are MSN programs that with emphasis in nurse educator, nurse informatics, nurse executive and more. While some nursing graduate schools may offer the general Master of Science in Nursing, most expect students to focus their studies on one of these areas, and coursework will reflect this.

DID YOU KNOW? APRNs must first have a registered nursing (RN) license before they pursue the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree ii

Why Consider Graduate Nursing Programs in Sweden?

Most graduate nursing programs aim to augment a nurse’s knowledge, boost professional development and refine clinical skills. Nursing graduate programs are often characterized by clinical and classroom education. One of the goals is to help nurses learn to conduct research and grasp trends in healthcare, such as health policy and the role of technology. Then, to apply concepts from nursing science into the acute care provided to individuals and communities. Another aim is to help nurses positively impact patient outcomes through clinical expertise and compassionate nursing care.

Support Advanced Practice Nursing

The appeal of graduate nursing programs might extend to nurses who want to pursue advanced practice roles and to non-nurses who hold degrees in other disciplines. While the entry-level education for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) is the masters degree, this might be in the process of shifting. In 2004, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) called for a change. They proposed that the current level of preparation necessary for advanced nursing practice move from the master’s degree to the doctorate-level by the year 2015. The AACN's position statement calls for APRN’s (Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Nurse-Midwives, and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists) and other nurses seeking leadership/organizational roles to be educated in DNP programs.

MS in Nursing Programs: Professional Insight

Obtaining my MSN enhanced my career beyond anything I could have imagined. The knowledge and skills I gained in my clinical experiences and courses gave me everything I needed to provide primary care to patients in my community in a way that I couldn't as an RN. Beyond this, it positioned me to become a leader in healthcare and make an enduring impact through legislative change and advocacy.

Finding a Nursing Graduate School for Graduate Nursing Programs in Sweden

The plethora of graduate nursing programs may seem daunting, however, you can refine your search to narrow down your choices is you search by location, or you could even pursue direct entry msn programs . Use the city, state or country tabs to determine whether the program you are looking for is offered nearby or whether relocation will be necessary.

What is the Career Outlook for Nursing?

The BLS projects a 38% employment growth for nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners to the year 2022 to 2032 (Source: BLS.gov ). This high demand is due to multiple factors that include an aging baby-boom population and emphasis on preventive care. In terms of salaries for APRN roles, the median annual wage for nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives , and nurse practitioners was $125,900 in May 2022. (Source: BLS.gov )

Admission to MSN Programs

Admission to Masters in Nursing programs vary a great deal. Traditional MSN programs are those that build upon the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Some of the best nursing schools with these MSN programs typically require candidates to have earned their BSN in a college accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education or by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. Applicants might also need to have a valid state RN license, GRE scores, letters of reference, essay and nursing experience.

Ways to get an MSN Degree

The scope of MSN programs is broad. Other MSN programs are often known as bridge programs and may also be offered in an accelerated format. These programs could have their own requirements. Aside from the degree pathway, some programs may allow students to select an emphasis. It should also be noted that students usually must successfully complete one segment before they move onto the next.

  • Entry-level MSN programs: Designed for non-nurses. These students hold a bachelors degree in an area of study outside of nursing and seek to pursue a career as an RN
  • RN to MSN Programs: Designed for RNs with their BSN degree
  • BSN to MSN Programs: Basic programs for all RNs nurses that want to complete their MSN in an accelerated way
  • ADN to MSN programs: Students first study to earn their BSN and then continue to the MSN degree
  • Direct entry MSN programs : Designed to quickly and effectively help students enter the nursing profession without earning a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN).

Graduate Nursing certificates are courses of study that could add onto existing nursing skills. Often just a few courses and credits (e.g. 12 credits), nurses could study to gain clinical competency and apply evidence-based practices.

Admission criteria is largely dependent on the program. Sometimes, applicants are evaluated to see if there are any gaps they need to fill through prerequisite courses. Students could also need valid state RN licensure, minimum GPA and experience in the area pursued . Of course, each school has its own requirements, so keep an eye out for one that addresses your goals and current education level.

  • Post-masters nursing certificates are often stand-alone credentials. These could be designed for registered nurses and advanced practice nurses who want to refine, or even switch nursing specialties after they have earned their MSN degree. For instance, a certified pediatric nurse practitioner might want to diagnose and treat pediatric acute and chronic care conditions
  • Post-bachelors nursing certificates are typically taken alongside a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, since students could enter a DNP program with a BSN degree. This type of certificate could help nurses to add onto the type of acute care they provide. For example, a nurse in a DNP Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner might pursue an HIV primary care certificate to explore diagnosis and care needs for this population

What are Doctorate Nursing Programs?

Doctorate of nursing practice programs in fall into two principal types: research-focused and practice- focused. These two types of doctoral programs differ in their goals and the skillsets of their graduates. They also represent alternate approaches to the highest level of educational preparation in nursing. Furthermore, there are various areas that could be used as anchor points for either research or clinical practice. Sometimes, a nursing grad school offers MSN tracks (e.g. nurse-midwife , family nurse practitioner and women’s health care nurse practitioner) with a companion Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program.

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Programs

The Doctor of Nursing Practice, or DNP, is a practice doctorate and terminal degree in nursing. The objective of a DNP program, per the AACN, is to “prepare nurse leaders at the highest level of nursing practice to improve patient outcomes, and translate research into practice.” DNP programs are generally designed to prepare graduates with competencies in eight areas that are outlined by the AACN. These range from public health care policy advocacy to inter-professional collaboration and systems thinking. DNP nurses are also expected to have advanced skills in health assessment, pathophysiology and pharmacology. Aside from courses, students might need to complete a DNP project at the end of the program. This is intended to help nurses synthesize the coursework and demonstrate their increased knowledge in their practice areas. The type of project varies. For instance, it might include a practice portfolio with a focus on evidence-based practice, a pilot study, a program evaluation or other practical.

Pathways to the DNP

There are two entry points to DNP degree programs, and each nursing graduate school sets its own admissions requirements for these paths.

  • BSN to DNP: For students who have completed their BSN, the BSN to DNP track could lead to a Doctor of Nurse Practice (DNP). Students earn a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) along the way
  • MSN to DNP: The MSN to DNP is designed for students who have completed a Master of Science in Nursing. Most post-masters DNP programs are designed for certified APRNs who aim to improve skills in leadership, clinical scholarship, evidence-based practice and clinical evaluation

Other admission requirements could include an RN license in the state of residence, letters of reference, CV, background check, essay and possible interview. Since these are variable details, refer to individual schools for more information.

PhD in Nursing

The PhD in Nursing is a research doctorate and terminal scholarly degree in nursing. Essentially, PhD programs are designed to prepare nurse scientists and scholars. With an emphasis that relies heavily on scientific content and research methodology, students are typically required to produce an original research project. Also, they usually must complete and defend a dissertation or linked research papers.

Admission to some PhD Nursing programs could entail a Master’s degree in nursing from an accredited university, a grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, and a current, unrestricted RN license to practice in the United States.

Accreditation for Graduate Nursing Programs

Whatever format you select, nursing graduate programs are often available at regionally or nationally accredited universities. Beyond that, there are two major organizations that offer accreditation–the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), which is affiliated with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).

What does it mean to be an accredited nursing program? A nursing graduate program or school of nursing that is accredited has proved that their curriculum meets certain standards set by the accrediting body. These agencies also make sure there are support systems in place that could help students achieve their goals. Things such as financial aid, library services, transfer credit and so on.

Leveraging Digital Nursing for the Future

High angle view of nurse walking around hospital while looking at a medical chart on tablet.

The 2024 HIMSS European Health Conference and Exhibition showcased the latest solutions and experiences in digital and informatics nursing. It was a landmark event for the European digital health community, bringing together approximately 2,500 healthcare executives, practitioners and professionals from 84 different countries at the iconic Centro Congressi La Nuvola in Rome. 

The conference highlighted the invaluable contribution of nurses to digital health transformation and the importance of ensuring their inclusion at all stages of digital innovation. 

The nursing agenda was supported by members of the HIMSS European Nursing Informatics Community and the Italian Nurses Association, featuring some of the most inspiring names in the European nursing world, including a compelling keynote panel with Professor Pam Cipriano, president of the International Council of Nurses; Christine Antorini, nursing student and former Minister of Education in Denmark; and Mark Sugrue, RN, member of the HIMSS Board.

HIMSS24 Europe featured the inaugural Digital Nursing Summit — a two-part, interactive program taking a deep dive into the cutting-edge advancements in digital support for nursing care. In light of the ongoing, global workforce crisis, the second part of the summit was dedicated to digital literacy, upskilling and nursing education policy and strategies to bolster and support nurses in their vital roles. 

If you missed the scintillating panels featuring nursing voices at HIMSS24 Europe, read on for the key takeaways from each of the speakers. 

Keynote Speakers

Keynote: pam cipriano, president, international council of nurses.

Key takeaway: It’s time we put more digital tools into the hands of nurses.

With over 40 years in nursing, I still believe there is no more rewarding and challenging profession.  It is an extraordinary experience where strangers, at their most vulnerable times, let you into their lives, and you make a difference. Sadly, globally the trend is for nurses to leave the profession, and it’s NOT because they fell out of love with nursing, but rather, with jobs that do not support or value them.

It’s time we put more digital tools in the hands of nurses to decrease workload, improve workflow, spark innovation and equip them not only to improve safety but also to study more ways to improve the patient experience, raise community outcomes and reduce the burden of disease through prevention and better coordination of care.

It’s also time to be more aggressive in cultivating an interest in nursing careers for mature adults seeking career change or growth, as well as more men — in most countries only 10% of nurses are men, so we are ignoring almost half the population as potential nurses.

We have the know-how to reinfuse joy in nursing. The question is do we have the will?

Keynote: Christine Antorini, 1st year student nurse, former Minister of Education, Denmark

Key Takeaway: From government minister to student nurse! Career change in later years can be profoundly valuable personally and to wider society.

At 59, I transitioned from being a high-flying government minister to a student nurse at the peak of my former career, driven by a desire for a more balanced and meaningful vocation. Fascinated by the dedication of nurses and healthcare professionals, I wanted to work directly with patients and their families. Denmark's nursing shortage presented an opportunity, and I enrolled at Copenhagen University College, successfully completing my first year.

The response to my career change has been overwhelmingly positive, especially from adults aspiring to enter healthcare. Unlike many, I had the financial means from my previous career to support my new education, highlighting the need for more accessible lifelong learning opportunities. My age and experience enhance my ability to communicate with patients, and while being recognized as a former Minister of Education can be surprising, it often brings smiles to patients’ faces.

Staying updated with digital tools has been challenging yet rewarding, enhancing patient care through advanced electronic health records and telemedicine. Studying with younger peers has been enlightening, and their ease with digital technologies is impressive and inspiring. My journey from minister to nurse reflects a passion for healthcare, the importance of flexible education and the irreplaceable value of the human touch in nursing.

Keynote: Mark Sugrue, RN, CNIO and HIMSS Board Member

Key takeaway: Call to Action !! Nurses need to lead the development, implementation and adoption of Digital Health and AI tools to support nursing practice and the delivery of safe, timely effective, equitable, evidence based, patient centred and high quality patient care.

Technology is changing rapidly. Nurses across the globe need to be involved from the very beginning and not just at the end when these new tools are being incorporated into practice.   Artificial Intelligence has the promise to support clinical practice in many ways but it comes with inherent risks including but not limited to bias.  Nurses working in collaboration with interprofessional colleagues have a responsibility and a duty to protect patients from all harm including harm introduced by technology.

Keynote: Olga Gershuni, RN, nursing and mental health program director/strategic advisor, Health Tech Without Border  

Key takeaway: In the midst of crisis, it is essential to care for the welfare of the nurses, first and foremost.

At Health Tech Without Borders (HTWB), our mission is to support vulnerable populations during crises. The organization was established just days after the war in Ukraine began in late February 2022. One of the first organizations to support us was HIMSS, which published our call to action. We were truly grateful for their support. Our first initiative was to provide telehealth consultations to the Ukrainian population, which was particularly crucial due to the widespread destruction of infrastructure and the resulting collapse. Telehealth is a powerful tool and can be utilized almost immediately. However, we must never forget the importance of ethical principles, contextual knowledge and targeted engagement, which address actual needs through active listening. As part of our mission, we soon realized the need to support clinicians' mental health. This led to the launch of the Help the Healer Heal (3H) program, providing vital peer-to-peer support. Given the inevitability of wars and disasters, it is crucial to support our future healthcare professionals. To this end, we tailored educational and well-being support for nursing students at a Ukrainian nursing school, anticipating their vulnerabilities and addressing their needs. Nurses are the heart of any healthcare system, and disasters leave the healthcare systems of affected countries heartbroken.

Digital Nursing Summit Speakers

Dr mette maria skjoeth, head of department, odense , university hospital, denmark.

Key Takeaway:

Worldwide, nurses play an important  role in enhancing healthcare for individuals suffering from various diseases. As the glue of the healthcare system, nursing roles are evolving amidst a workforce crisis driven by a shortage of healthcare professionals. To address this issue, digital transformation could offer the  solution, enhancing accessibility to healthcare services. As nurses constitute the largest group in healthcare with the highest degree of direct patient contact, it is imperative that they are at the forefront of this digital shift. 

Strong leadership is essential to support and encourage digital transformation within nursing. My  presentation highlighted the importance of leadership in facilitating this change, emphasising the need to bolster nurses' competencies for the future. The presentation also showcased a successful case of automated self-testing for chlamydia, where nurses developed an award-winning digital intervention. This case underscores the potential of nursing innovation, leading to digital tools to revolutionise healthcare delivery and the critical role nurses play in this transformative process.

Matthew Little, CNIO, Gloucester Hospital Trust (Speaking in the Digital Nursing Summit)

Key takeaway: It is essential to listen to the needs of nurses, doctors and all AHP when implementing a digital solution.

Developing a digital solution or an Electronic Patient Record system for healthcare requires recognizing the critical need for collaboration and connection. To ensure success in any clinical setting, it is essential to involve and listen to the voices of nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals during implementation. Creating an effective clinical system that truly enhances patient care demands the involvement of both clinical staff and patients. While this may seem straightforward, large-scale projects often shift focus to funding, timelines and deliverables, sidelining the crucial input of those who will use the system daily.

As clinicians, we have a responsibility to ensure our voices are included in the digital programs, consistently prioritising patient needs. Key points discussed in our recent session include starting with the patient and working backwards, engaging in two-way conversations to understand requirements, recognizing that implementing a digital solution involves a hospital-wide cultural change and embracing the unknown by leveraging the diverse skills and experiences of staff. By focusing on these principles, we can develop digital solutions that not only meet clinical needs but also enhance patient care and satisfaction

Helle Sorensen RN, Project and development manager in health and social care, Östersund Municipality, Sweden 

Key takeaway: It’s about changing the way we work and focusing on the benefits of innovation.

My presentation focused on the importance of structuring improvement and innovation proposals from employees. Organisations should ensure they are well aligned and have strong insights into actual needs, and nurses and care staff are particularly relevant to this, as they have a profound understanding of the daily work challenges.

Once a new solution or system is ready for implementation, the next challenge is to actually change the way you do your daily work — the organisation needs to focus on change management and link it to the benefits and effects that were initially identified.

To evolve toward new practice and reap the positive benefits of change, it’s important that the organisation continually follows-up, evaluates, considers feedback and is results driven. When visible progress is highlighted, it drives motivation.

Dr Walter de Caro, President of Italian Nurses Association, Italy

Key takeaway: Let’s unlock the potential of nurses through digitalisation, reimagining a new mindset in healthcare.

The presentation covered several key areas within the evolving healthcare landscape, focusing on the role of nurses. It highlights the increasing responsibilities of nurses, which includes advanced clinical care, ethical decision-making, leadership, technological integration and team collaboration. Also presented were Italy's digital health ecosystem and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan - Next Generation EU, toward healthcare transformation. 

The importance of digital health literacy for both healthcare professionals and patients, and the role of nurses in combating online disinformation were underlined, as well as the necessity of education in nursing informatics and the development of new curricula and tools, such as the Nuric project funded by the EU. Leadership in managing the digital transformation of healthcare is pivotal, with various leadership models discussed, and the main barriers to building a 21st century healthcare system are not technical but rather institutional, process-related and workflow-related.

The presentation emphasised the need to unlock the potential of nursing through digitalization, focusing on resilience, reimagination and reengineering for a new mindset in healthcare. It advocates for leadership education, policy changes and the integration of informatics into nursing practice, to fully harness the benefits of technological advancements and improve healthcare delivery.

Ian Green, RN, Snomed UK

Key takeaway: Standardising nursing care terminology is key to improving quality and delivery of nursing care.

This presentation, Using ICNP and SNOMED in the EHR, highlights the SNOMED CT and ICNP collaboration, which has brought together two leading terminologies to support digital recording of nursing care in the EHR. The collaboration offers the opportunity for enhancing nursing practice by providing links between nursing practice and research, utilizing real world data.

The approach also offers the opportunity to standardize care plans in practice, as shown by pilot implementations in Norway, which supports the quality improvement and delivery of nursing practice.

Sinead Hanley, Executive Director of Nursing, Galway Clinic, Ireland

Blackrock Health Galway Clinic has been to the forefront of developing an EHR that is user friendly and providing a record of care that the organisation, the RN and the patient can rely on. As an executive director of nursing, my focus must be to ensure that there is evidence of care, treatment and follow up captured within the EHR that is auditable while also capturing the relationship between the patient and the nurse.

At HIMSS24 Europe, we were asked many questions about how we achieved that balance between “ticking boxes” and meaningful person-centred communication. This highlighted for us that nursing content, which forms the biggest structured elements within the EHR, needs design and investment to capture the art as well as the science of nursing.

Catherine McCabe, Associate Professor, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Key takeaway: It is imperative to standardise undergraduate digital health curriculum for nurses and midwives and support “clinical champions” for digital health competencies.

Ireland’s recently launched Digital Health Framework 2024-2030 provides a blueprint  for the development of digital health infrastructure and capacity. It highlights the current deficiencies in digital health and emphasizes the need to expand nurse education, particularly at the undergraduate level, to enhance digital health knowledge and skills.

Documents such as the Digital Capability Framework for Health and Social Care (2020) and the Digital Health Competency Standards and Requirements for Undergraduate Nursing and Midwifery Education Programmes (NMBI 2023) aim to standardise the content, ensuring graduates possess the necessary competencies, knowledge and skills related to digital health. This is crucial for integrating digital health technologies into nursing practices, enhancing workflow management and maintaining individualised patient care. The involvement of nursing professionals is expected to improve the quality of health data, which is vital for effective digital health solutions.

There is a notable issue with the inconsistency of postgraduate nursing and midwifery digital health education in Ireland. The framework underscores the importance of clinical “champions” who can support digital health competencies and development across all healthcare contexts. Effective digital health initiatives require collaboration among all stakeholders, including patients, to ensure sustainable and impactful outcomes.

Outi Ahonen, PhD, RN,  Principal Lecturer, Digital Department, Social, Health and Sport, Laurea University of Applied Sciences, Finland   

Key takeaway: Every nurse is a digital nurse and should actively participate in developing digital services.

In Finland, we are proud to have published a digital social and health services strategy for nurses, authored by the Finnish Nursing Association . The aim of the strategy is to support good quality and client-oriented care through digital health services and multi-channel service models.

Another objective was to foster more discussion around the role of nurses in developing and running digital services and strengthening public participation. We need to spread this debate and information to a wider audience in Europe. 

Primarily, it's important that every nurse receives basic digital competencies during their education, but there is also great potential and opportunity to drive professional development and skill building in digital transformation in health care to nurses later in their career.

Secondly, it's important that nurses have the opportunity to take part in transdisciplinary development work to bring nurses and patients voices to the development discussion.

Professor Natasha Phillips RN PhD, Founder Future Nurse, School of Health & Society, University of Salford, Manchester (Ex CNIO NHS England)

Session: Supporting the Workforce of the Future

It was wonderful to have such a strong nursing presence at HIMSS this year.  I chaired a fantastic session on preparing the workforce where Pam Cipriano grounded the discussion in the challenges we face today with a global shortage of nurses and other clinical staff. Exacerbated by the pandemic and an exhausted workforce, combined with poor, inefficient technology and a workforce lacking the digital health literacy skills to work with technology or lead innovation. One of the panellists, Hela Ghariani  recognised this challenge in France, where a national programme was implemented with 119 million euro investment in workforce education, leading to national standardised competencies and curriculum for all new healthcare professionals.

Similar recommendations have been made through various reviews here in the UK but are yet to take hold and be funded. Having led one such review, Phillips Ives , that was disheartening.  However this motivated my return to the UK with renewed vigour to influence this through the development of a Future Nurse Global Innovation Community - watch this space for more on that!

The closing keynote focused on nursing was particularly touching, and infused me with renewed energy to tackle digitally enabled nursing by demanding technology that supports the care we give, as well as being central to the design of the new models of care.. At Future Nurse our expert clinical and technical teams work with organisations to deliver person centred transformation. Without this relentless focus on people centred design we can't realise the benefits for both those delivering care and those they care for.

Pam Cipriano, President - International Council of Nurses

Nurses faced immense challenges during the pandemic, with stories of feeling undervalued, unprotected and overworked, yet they continued to show up and care for patients despite fear and fatigue.

This has led many to leave their jobs or object to working conditions. The solutions to retaining the nursing workforce include creating a safe and respectful work environment, investing in adequate staffing, fair pay, professional development and digital technologies.

Nurses must be empowered to work to their full potential and scope of practice, with adequate training and digital literacy, and it's crucial to involve them in designing technologies that meet their needs, as emphasized by the International Council of Nursing’s Charter for Change.

Winnie O’Neill, Nursing & Allied Health Project Manager, Blackrock Health- Galway Clinic. In session “One Click Too Many - Reducing Operational Burden on Clinical Staff” 

Key takeaway: A focus on active input and engagement of nurses in all EHR implementation.

At the Galway Clinic, we believe there are certain key factors in successfully implementing an Electronic Health Record system that reduces the operational burden on clinical staff. Crucial to this process is the active input and engagement of nursing and allied health professionals throughout all stages of the implementation. The EHR system must not only support but also enhance existing clinical workflows to ensure seamless integration.

A strong focus on clinical content and its governance is essential for establishing Nursing and Allied Health documentation standards. Clinical documentation should be evidence-based, and the EHR must offer clinical decision support tools that enable the efficient and effective documentation of patient assessments and care plans. To maintain the EHR's effectiveness, the clinical content must be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it remains relevant.

Finally, infrastructure considerations are critical. The system requires robust and reliable hardware, as well as dependable WiFi, to facilitate bedside documentation and other care processes, ensuring that the EHR supports clinical staff in their roles without adding unnecessary burdens.

Michele Hardiman, Nurse Practice Development Education and Research Facilitator,  Galway Clinic, Ireland.

Session: Work Smarter not Harder - How Clinical Decision Support Can Drive Better, Safer Clinical Care

Key takeaway: The EHR should work for us at the bedside, rather than nurses having to adjust their practice.

Blackrock Health Galway Clinic is really leading the way in the UK/Ireland/ European setting, as we have strived to redesign the nursing content with the aim of helping nurses work smarter not harder.

Our efforts will ensure the electronic record is adapted to work for nurses and allied health professionals at the bedside rather than us having to adjust our practice to fit into content supplied by the vendor.

Adjusting the content needs to be culturally adapted to individual countries and professional standards. Working collaboratively with end user helps to ensure the record stays relevant and ensures buy-in; adding pop-up prompts helps to stimulate critical thinking making it easier to ensure all aspects of care are assessed.

There was huge interest in our contribution at the conference with many downloading our published paper and reaching out to ask questions from our team Sinead, Michele and Winnie.

Olga Visnevetsky, RN / Lead Nurse Care Coordinator for the ADLIFE project in Israel

Session: Tackling Chronic Diseases with Digitally Integrated Care

Key takeaway: Nurses were found to be the most efficient case managers to coordinate integrated digital care.

As one of the principal nurse practitioners involved in The ADLIFE project, my presentation highlighted the truly pivotal role that nurse coordinators play in this HORIZON 2020 Innovation project, which aims to provide a digitally supported integrated care solution for patients with advanced chronic diseases (CHF and COPD). 

It was found that nurse coordinators were extremely successful case managers and coordinators of care. They were the most consistent users of the digital platforms, performing the intake evaluation of patient functional and social status, taught both clinicians and patients how to use the platforms, performed ongoing monitoring of patient status, coordinated with the GPs and the specialists and supported patients and caregivers.

Furthermore, they empowered patients to take an active role in managing their health. A core conclusion is that for digitally supported integrated care to succeed, there must be some form of case manager who is the main user of the system and coordinates the rest of the multidisciplinary team in its use. In ADLIFE, we found that this was done best by nurse coordinators.
