Success factors for rural medicine in Sweden so far….
• Showing that the rural parts of Sweden, could be an area for testing and developing different systems of care, especially for the ageing population.
• Showing that rural medicine is of interest around the world, and that we can participate in international networking and research.
• Giving, prospective rural doctors, extra and better suited education, to meet the needs in the rural communities, and along with that, better salary and status.

Things we are working for….
• The northern counties in Sweden need to cooperate to make a strategical effort of supporting research in the most northern (rural) part of Sweden.
• Develop adjusted education in rural medicine for nurses.
• Cooperate more with other countries with similar rural challenges.

Future challenges for Västerbotten
• 30 % of the total number of all employees in the county of Västerbotten will retire within the next ten years.
• All the municipalities in the western part of the county are facing the same challenge with high numbers of retirements, both for medical staff but also teachers and administrative officials.
• The challenge of recruiting highly skilled professionals. How to educate and train rural doctors and nurses to fit the complex needs?

We might have the solution…
• Prospect for a new organisation, with the purpose to provide public and private organisations/companies with requested competence
• The idea is to provide active support for municipalities and the county of Västerbotten to recruit and retain highly educated staff.
• In the long term, it may also provide active support for the recruitment of staff to private companies in Västerbotten
• Storuman, Vilhelmina municipalities and the county of Västerbotten takes the initiative
