What drives and connects all WORC members in doing what we do?

We strive for resilient, evidence-informed care environments and systems in which healthcare professionals can collaborate optimally and provide high-quality, safe, and person-centered care.

We are committed to developing future-proof care systems in partnership with all stakeholders, with particular attention to strengthening nurses and midwives as key figures in care transformation.

Naturally, we don't do this without direction. Based on our vision, we also have a mission.

Our mission is to develop fundamental knowledge about how work systems, healthcare professionals, and care outcomes mutually influence each other, and how these interactions can be translated into effective implementation in real-world care contexts.

Through rigorous research and societal service, we contribute to sustainable care systems that place professional health and wellbeing, interprofessional collaboration, and innovation at their core.
