Approximately 1500 students are annually at Landspitali University Hospital (LUH) for practical training. In order to promote successful learning the educational role of the hospital must be strengthened. Department of education organizes practice development for professional staff at the hospital including courses and work shops about teaching and mentoring students and newly recruited. It is necessary for the staff at LUH department of education to have the opportunity to learn from colleagues in larger hospitals abroad on how to develop and support the teaching and learning at LUH. Among the urgent tasks is to learn about ways to meet the needs for training in hospitals where hospital beds are constantly cut back, admitted patients are fewer every year , patients are more acutely ill and are discharged earlier. As learning opportunities in hospitals change, different teaching methods are needed to ensure successful learning. The needs of students in health care professions and career of hospital professionals go therefore, hand in hand. The project proposed here involves visits to two large hospitals , one in Sweden and one in the UK to learn about teaching and learning. Educational Department of LUH will send four employees to each hospital. Part of the program at the host hospitals will be common to the four visitors but they will individually focus on the factors related to their role as project managers. Following the visits the participants will form their strategy according to what they have learned from the visits and what is feasible to implement at LUH.
