Internal communication in your lab
NFKK course on Helene, 2020
Per Simonsson
The proud ship Helene of Ystad will sail on and NFKK
has approved a new course in 2020. This time the
theme will be on how internal communication, in a
challenging environment, can be used in the leader-
ship of our speciality to deliver results. Focus will be
on how to transform visions and goals into actions
on a daily level.
There will be seminars, workshops and role plays
putting the participants in action on a number
of important aspects. New technologies will be dis-
cussed.

Doctors and biochemists, preferably during train-
ing, who are working in laboratory medicine are
welcome to join the crew.
