The Nordic Welfare Centre and WHO Regional Office Copenhagen invite you to a one-day conference at the UN City in Copenhagen, April 22, 2027.
Demographic trends in the Nordic region mean that more older people will require care and support, whilst the workforce is shrinking. This is placing increasing pressure on health and welfare systems, particularly in sparsely populated areas.
To meet these challenges, it is essential to strengthen skills development, upskilling and retraining for staff in long term care, with a view to ensuring adequate recruitment and retention.
This conference marks the launch of a new report on competence development in eldercare in the Nordic region. The report presents and overview of existing research and grey literature in the Nordic region, as well as a mapping of national policies and initiatives.
The conference welcomes experts from across the Nordic region working on eldercare issues at the national, regional, or local level; policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.
