Under the guidance of Associate Professor Kristian Ringsby Odberg and May Ingvild Sollid, the group focuses on human factors to understand and improve healthcare systems and processes.
Comprising 21 dedicated members, including 9 actively engaged with the SHARE Centre, our collaborative efforts span various dimensions. These encompass joint PhD supervision, co-authored publications, participation in research and writing seminars, concerted endeavors to secure research funding, as well as informal gatherings aimed at nurturing professional bonds within the center.
Moreover, the group convenes regular meetings to deliberate ongoing projects, brainstorm innovative ideas, explore interdisciplinary collaborations, and deliberate on funding avenues and theoretical frameworks. Our close partnerships extend beyond academia, encompassing collaborations with Innlandet Hospital Trust and Karlstad University, Sweden.
