Akademiliv congratulates Ewa-Lena Bratt on the professorship in nursing. She leads the research group “Health care transition research group“, which studies, develops and evaluates both new and existing care models in order to improve care during transitions between different healthcare providers. The purpose of the research is to map the consequences for the patients regarding, for example, medical outcomes and psychosocial aspects in the event of deficiencies in the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. Initially, the research group’s starting point is the target group of young people with long-term conditions. Ewa-Lena Bratt teaches at all levels at the Institute of Health and Care Sciences, and is also employed as a nurse at the children’s heart center at Queen Silvia’s Children’s Hospital.
