Ragnhild Hedman

Forskare och utredare

Jag är utredare och forskare på Stiftelsen Äldrecentrum sedan september 2024, då jag kom från Sophiahemmet högskola. Min bakgrund är som sjuksköterska inom geriatrik och äldreomsorg och som lärare i grund- och specialistutbildning inom omvårdnad, främst med fokus på vård av äldre och personer med kognitiv sjukdom. Jag disputerade 2014, blev 2022 docent i vårdvetenskap vid Sophiahemmet högskola och är för närvarande anknuten forskare vid institutionen för neurobiologi, vårdvetenskap och samhälle, Karolinska institutet. Min forskning rör framför allt vård och stöd till personer med kognitiv sjukdom/svikt och deras anhöriga.
