A human and global perspective in nursing and health defines the Swedish Red Cross University’s unique profile in education, research and collaboration. The Swedish Red Cross University has a long tradition of education – ever since 1867 we have trained highly regarded and valued nurses. The university provides a critical service to society and about 200 nurses and 50 specialist nurses in intensive care, infectious care and psychiatric care graduate annually from the Swedish Red Cross University. We also contribute to increasing the competence among clinical supervisors by offering specific training courses.
