Change in the Danish Council Representation

Julie Tolstrup Dababneh, RN, CCN, MSc
New Danish National Representative - The Danish Professional Society for Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Recovery Nurses (FSAIO)
Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital - Denmark 

I am a Critical Care Nurse working at the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, where I have built well over a decade of experience within specialised cardiac intensive care. Alongside my clinical work, I teach in the national intensive care nursing specia lisation programme in Denmark. In recent years, my professional interest has increasingly centred on relatives of cardiac ICU patients, a topic I explored in depth during my Master of Science studies. I expect to continue expanding my involvement in clinical research within intensive care in the coming years. As a board member of FSAIO, I am pleased to represent Denmark in EfCCNa and look for ward to contributing to the federation’s collaborative work across Europe.

Jule took over from Anja Ziemer, who is now in charge of the newly developed EfCCNa Podcast.
