The organisation of health and social care systems is crucial for how coordinated, effective and safe these systems are. This organisation also significantly influences who has the easiest access to services and benefits the most from services.

Complex challenges like rising health inequities and increasing digitalisation speak to the strengths of our research.

We analyse the organisation of health and social care systems as an interplay between decision makers, health professions, users, and new health policies and initiatives.

Research areas

We study topics such as health reform discourses, the negotiation of health access, and patient work with integrated care to explore the making of health and social care systems, and their consequences for public health.

Based on humanities and social sciences approaches, we analyse how people and non-human actors, like AI, engage in organising processes at the system, organisational, and practice levels.

We draw on cross-disciplinary perspectives and work mainly qualitatively, acknowledging the complexity of research practice.
