About Jeanette Tenggren Durkan

I work with administration, communication, events and public engagement at the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-centred care – GPCC. I have worked at GPCC since 2011. GPCC is an interdisciplinary research centre, which was established in 2010. At GPCC over 200 national and international researchers, clinicians and patients and relatives/carers collaborate in various research, implementation and dissemination projects. I handle the Centre’s administration, internal and external communication, public engagement and events. My work with science communication is most often directed towards specific stakeholder groups, in this case health care staff, decision and policy makers and politicians, as well as patient and user organizations.

Administration:

• I am the Administrator for GPCC:s Steering Committee and Drafting Committee.

Communication:

• I am the Editor and Writer for GPCC:s web site.
• I the Editor and Writer for our three separate external and internal newsletters.
• I work with the Centre’s social media accounts, where I post information and enable networking, primarily on LinkedIn and Facebook.
• I co-ordinate the production of GPCC:s other marketing material, such as images, illustrations, as well as digital and printed information material.

Public engagement:

I took part in initiating and creating the GPCC:s Person Council for Patient and Relatives/Carers in 2016, and have since co-ordinated the work with this Council. The Person Council has had major impact on the Centre, and has contributed to GPCC scoring well in external reviews.

Events:

I co-ordinate and market the majority of GPCC:s participation at events, from our own internal and external seminars and events, to participation at major national and international arenas and conferences, for example the International Forum for Quality and Safety in Healthcare.
