PROSENIOR
Our Research
The research is conducted in close collaboration with municipal health and social care services and is characterized by co-design among researchers, health care staff, older persons, their next of kin, and other key stakeholders. PROSENIOR focuses on the development, evaluation, and implementation of sustainable interventions, with a strong commitment of integrating evidenced-based knowledge with practice. We welcome collaborations that align with the research group's focus and objectives.
