Lots of interest in community nursing in Burgenland

Ein Pilotprojekt widmet sich an der FH Burgenland dem Konzept der Community Nurses. Wie groß das Interesse am Thema ist, zeigte sich bei einem Symposium am FH Standort in Pinkafeld.

The status quo and the future of community nursing projects in Burgenland were the subject of a major symposium at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland . More than 100 participants from the Burgenland care landscape were represented.

Pinkafeld, 05th of July 2024 - Demographic change in Austria is resulting in an ever-increasing proportion of older people. Burgenland is also affected by this development and it is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure health-promoting care. Since autumn 2022, community nurses have been deployed in various pilot projects at neuralgic points throughout Austria. One of these projects is being supported by the Department of Health at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland .

Ute Seper, scientific CN coordinator from UAS Burgenland, and Ewald Schlaffer, CN project manager from Soziale Dienste Burgenland GmbH, jointly organised a symposium at the Pinkafeld study center of UAS Burgenland. More than 100 participants from the intramural and extramural sectors of the Burgenland care landscape accepted the invitation.

"Overall, this event marked an important milestone in the CN project and was an outstanding highlight," summarised project manager Ute Seper. The EU pilot project will run until the end of the year. The symposium has been prepared as a booklet here.
