Magnus Nord
Adjunct Associate Professor
As a lecturer in general practice, I am involved in teaching on the medical programme and research into the care of frail older people.
Presentation
I conduct research on frailty and ageing and how healthcare can be adapted to meet the changing needs of the older population. The SAFE project develops and evaluates a care model in primary care in Region Östergötland and Jönköping County for older people at risk of frailty and high care needs. Healthy Ageing is a project in Region Kalmar that evaluates health dialogues togehther with a movement awareness intervention for older people. Health economics, prediction models, quality of life and care development are topics that are involved in my research.
