We’ve started the S4R Toolbox pilot in Norway 🙌

Last week, the NTNU team led the first workshop with healthcare leaders, with support from @unistavanger.bsky.social. The group quickly adapted to the toolbox and found it useful.

Here’s a glimpse of the session!

Who actually holds up the long-term care system?
Middle managers.

Our analysis across 7 countries shows they are stuck in the "multiple middle" mediating between:
- Regulatory frameworks
- Workforce strategies
- The reality of daily care

What happens when support focuses on symptoms, not systems?

While informal carers often get counseling, our systematic review found that interventions for elderly care workers are often limited to relaxation techniques.

Breathing exercises don't fix shift stability or workload.

We’re in Vienna at the @efpc.bsky.social Conference!

Maha Kamran and Daniel Adrian Lungu shared first insights from our study on informal caregivers in elderly care.

Takeaway: it’s not only about involving caregivers in care, supporting their own capacity matters just as much.
