Project set-up

The establishment of a Competence Network for health care professionals and the development of a national strategy against staff shortage in the health care sector by the Universities of Applied Sciences, will serve to counter health problems in health care professions.

​

The topic will be addressed through cooperation between the Universities of Applied Sciences in Health, within the scope of the Strategic Planning 2017 - 2020 projects of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SBFI and the Swiss Higher Education Conference SHK.

​

The cooperating universities will jointly form a competence network, the Competence Network Health Workforce (CNHW), in order to develop the strategy together for networking within project partners, along with the establishment of the Competence Network.
