Rikke Kongensgaard

I am a registered nurse, nursing development lead and PhD student focusing on care and treatment for older adults living with frailty. My research explores the needs of older adults with frailty and acute illness in Hospital at Home, and the conditions shaping collaboration between hospital and municipal services in these care pathways. I hold a master's degree in health sciences and have experience in research, quality improvement and teaching.

My work encompasses the development and quality improvement of nursing care for older people, as well as teaching and professional development in geriatric nursing. I also work with interprofessional and cross-sector collaboration and contribute to professional development through regional and national working groups, steering committees, and board membership.
