Breakfast seminar – The good working environment

The work environment is about how we organize, plan and carry out our work. A good work environment is characterized by good management, employee participation and clear organizational frameworks. Competence, good communication, mastery and recognition provide both security and well-being.

Leader of the week - Svein Skeie

Hello everyone,

Autumn is often a work-intensive period, this year perhaps even more so than before with challenges in many areas. This applies to both the faculty, K2 and Stavanger University Hospital (SUS). At SUS, the main focus now is that on Sunday in 4 weeks we will move into the new SUS with all the somatic day care activities. This means a lot for patients and employees, and for researchers and students. The maintenance of the students' teaching and practice during the moving period is planned based on these assumptions. After the move, student activities will take place both at the new SUS and in the environments that will still remain at the current location in Våland. The faculty of medicine has some space integrated into the new SUS and additional space in a nearby building (Archives House). The curriculum for the multi-campus model for Vestlandslegen has been under consultation and SUS is also very keen that this will be successful.

SUS vil følge opp vurderingene i NFRs EVALMEDHELSE som var tydelig på at økt samarbeid med universitetet er anbefalt for videre forskningssatsing og utvikling. Dette blir også en del av SUS’ nye forskningsstrategi.  Her er det muligheter for mange K2-miljøer til å utvide forskningssamarbeidet på tvers mellom med fak sine lokasjoner. Trenger du kontaktinformasjon for evt forskningssamarbeid så ta gjerne kontakt med meg!

Have a great weekend!
