Alfred Surgery joined the Healthtech Festival in Stavanger to explore how health technology and competence building can strengthen healthcare preparedness and support safer care when it matters most.
Represented by Robbert-Jan Lindeman and Johanne Punte Kalsheim, Alfred Surgery took part in the event, organised by Norway Health Tech, bringing together professionals from healthcare, technology and preparedness.
Building preparedness through competence
Healthcare preparedness requires more than technology. Healthcare professionals need the right knowledge and skills, while organisations need effective ways to build, maintain and understand these competencies. This was a central theme throughout the discussions on health technology in preparedness and defence.
For Alfred Surgery, this reinforces the importance of combining digital solutions with systematic competence development. This is closely aligned with our approach to supporting structured learning, knowledge sharing and safer surgical practice.
Presentations by Håkon Lund, CMO of the Norwegian Armed Forces, Svend Haakon Kristensen, Director Military Segment at Laerdal Medical, and Thomas Iversen, Head of Emergency Preparedness at Helse Vest, offered valuable perspectives on the challenges facing healthcare preparedness today.
From technology to practical solutions
The event also highlighted the strong ecosystem in the Stavanger region, connecting healthcare, technology, simulation and competence development.
For Alfred Surgery, this creates opportunities to build new connections and explore practical solutions that can contribute to a more prepared and resilient healthcare system.
Alfred Surgery will continue to explore how digital solutions can support healthcare professionals and organisations in building and maintaining the competencies they need.
