This weeks editorial - Silke Appel
Dear all,
I pick up the thread again from my previous editorial: It is a very busy autumn this year with many processes going on at the same time. We are working diligently to put in place new course and learning outcome descriptions. This applies not only to the medical education, but we have also a new study plan for pharmacy that entails a number of changes. Thank you very much to everyone who works diligently to get things in place.
And then I have to admit that I have overlooked a case that was published in K2nytt 2 weeks ago: Helse Bergen has changed the system for reporting errors and deficiencies, it is not 77100 that applies anymore, now you have to report such cases via Omega365 (https://helse-vest.omega365.com/). All K2 employees should be able to report cases there (use the "microsoft" tab), and the positive thing is that you can actually see if any errors have already been reported. (editors note: the post has been republished this week)
Have a great weekend!

Seminar: Assessment of cardiovascular disease risk in women
Hjertesykdom er en vanlig årsak til nedsatt livskvalitet og død blant norske kvinner. Tradisjonelle risikofaktorer som høyt blodtrykk, fedme, høyt kolesterol og diabetes virker alle mer uheldig inn på hjertehelsen hos kvinner enn hos menn.
Changed management system at Helse Bergen
Helse Bergen har tatt i bruk et nytt system for innmelding av saker som gjelder feil, mangler eller nye og endrede behov knyttet til leieforholdet, og ikke lenger per epost til 77100. Alle ved K2 skal kunne melde inn saker…

Quantum Science Meets Biomedicine: small particles, big possibilities
Welcome to the annual Research Day at the Faculty of Medicine! Important scientific advances have come from researchers who identified exciting new fields at an early stage and were willing to explore them. During this year’s research day, we ask: could quantum medicine be the next big thing in medical research?
Editorial of the week - Eirik Rekve Thorsheim
Dear everyone!
I would like to follow up on Silke’s editorial from last week from an administrative perspective.
The Faculty Board believes that this is the right time to develop an updated administrative competence and staffing plan, and last week approved a comprehensive review of the administration of the future. We want to remain an attractive workplace that offers both professional development and a broad range of opportunities, while also looking ahead to future needs. You will a link to the papers from the Faculty Board at the end of this editorial. Vestlandslegen is transforming the medical degree programme into a multi-campus model, where all campus locations are to be provided with equivalent services. The current staffing plan dates back to 2013, with only minor adjustments having been made since then.
It is important to emphasize that the existing organizational structure will remain unchanged, with five departments and one faculty. However, during the autumn and spring semesters, proposals for organizational model(s) will be developed to ensure the delivery of high-quality services to both students and staff. The aim of the project is to provide predictable services of consistent quality across functions, departments, and campuses, where academic, administrative, and technical staff work together to create the best possible conditions for education and research, and to support our overall academic capacity.
The project group has developed a plan for involvement and intends to reach out broadly to gather input and knowledge. To ensure that support functions and services are designed and scaled to meet our needs and priorities as effectively as possible, the project group aims to give everyone at the faculty an opportunity to be heard through an open and inclusive process. A final report, including recommendations for service and organizational model(s), is expected by June 2027. I strongly encourage everyone to take the opportunity to contribute and make their voices heard when this work begins, so that we can continue to provide high-quality administrative services in the new reality of the multi-campus model, both in Bergen and at the other campus locations.
Have a great weekend!
Eirik
