Sweden’s healthcare sector faces a significant challenge due to the increasing life expectancy and aging population. This is exacerbated by the anticipated decrease in the working age population, creating extended competency supply challenges for municipalities and regions. Simultaneously, there is a demand for digitalization and the use of digital tools, which entails new challenges for municipalities and regions to manage. This study aims to investigate the current education strategy of a medium sized municipality within the health care sector, referred to as Kommun X, to identify how the education process can be structured and how digital tools can contribute to a more qualitative process. The data collection method utilized in this study is semi-structured interviews, which is in line with a qualitative approach. Moreover, the study incorporates an expert interview that has been analysed alongside the other data sources. In our findings, we propose an approach that combines digital tools with physical meetings. To enhance the structure and accessibility of the education we recommend implementation of a learning management system (LMS) which is compatible with mobile devices. Furthermore, we suggest establishing designated responsibility and support materials for the education. A concluding suggestion is that Kommun X consider the use of VR technology for educational purposes to integrate more interactive experiences for employees.
