Professor at Department of Diagnostics and Intervention Section: Oncology

Professor at the Department of Nursing. I also have joint employment at Cancercentrum, Norrland University Hospital, Umeå. My background in healthcare is as an oncology nurse in radiation therapy.

• teaches several of the department's programs/courses, preferably on oncological nursing but also in radiography and quantitative methods
• Research, among other things, on the quality of life and treatment-related side effects during oncological treatment.

My clinical experience as a nurse includes oncological care and, above all, radiation therapy. My thesis was about the quality of life and side effects in patients who received radiation therapy for prostate cancer. I got my PhD in November 2000 and then continued with mainly quantitative research in oncology. In 2022, I was appointed Professor in Oncology Nursing.
