Camilla Bernild

Clinical Education Researcher, PhD, Nurse, M.A.

Associated with UCSF since 2023 | Phone: +45 31 62 49 30 | ​camilla.bernild@regionh.dk

I work in a shared position between UCSF, the Heart Centre, Rigshospitalet and the IMPACT Research Unit. My research interests include learning, education, practice and competence development in clinical nursing practice and involvement of relatives. Methodologically,​ I work with action and intervention research, ethnographic fieldwork including various forms of interviews, as well as questionnaire surveys, drawing on: critical-theoretical tradition and theories within profession, institution, discourse, technology, education and learning.

Several of the projects I have been involved in are characterized by being development projects with subsequent research programs. I am currently working on the following:

NEW-Nursing Education and Work: Changes in the final year of the nursing programme
Clinical didactics: Competence development of education managers
Academic Credit Program in Nursing (accreditation of prior learning): New ways of teaching
Clinical leadership: Competence development programme for nurses
Sharing the shift: New ways of working in nursing
Diversity in nursing (education)
Black Box: technology for competency development in the operation ward

I am happy to make myself available to the hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark for knowledge exchange, presentations and workshops in relation to the above projects.
