room. “Both the staff and students find the new working environment

Pressing need for more workstations
There was a pressing need for more training positions at Karolinska
Institutet in Huddinge. Early 2010, Jana started as project manager
for a new clinic. The financing was already in place with a budget and
an empty location on floor 7. In February, a project group was formed
and consultants were contacted. Good practices from the clinic
on floor 6 were adopted and efforts were made to improve things that
worked less well.
