Preparations are well underway for Folkemødet 2025 on Bornholm, where Bridging Safe Elderly Care (BSEC) will take part in two exciting panel debates and related events on Friday 13 June at the Research Unit of the Secretariat’s tent (stand J28) on Kæmpestranden.
Matilde Skødstrup Axelsen will represent the project in the first debate, “From Silos to Collaboration: Improving Transitions in Healthcare.”
The panel will discuss what better coordination and smoother transitions mean for patients, healthcare professionals and society – particularly when older patients move between departments or hospitals.
Joining Matilde on the panel are Ricco Dyhr, Hospital Director at Zealand University Hospital (SUH), and a representative from the Danish Society for Patient Safety.
Later in the day, Nanna Winther Selmer will lead the debate “How Do We Reduce Readmissions Among Older Patients with Multimorbidity?”
The panel will include Morten Ziebell (Deputy Director, SUH), Jesper Eriksen (IQVIA) and Thomas de Richelieu (Director, Lolland Municipality).
Together they’ll discuss whether AI should play a bigger role in Danish healthcare – and what else can be done to prevent hospital admissions among older people with complex health needs.
Throughout the day, Matilde and Nanna will also be on hand to present their subprojects and engage visitors in interactive activities.
All in all, it promises to be a vibrant and thought-provoking Friday.
