Biography
Gudrun Nygren is currently working as a chief physician at the Specialist centre for children and adolescents at Angered Hospital. Her efforts include leading the three-year project “Hjällbo Collaboration Small Children”, which was started in 2013 with support from the Swedish Inheritance Fund. The aim has been to create a model with a single team for both examination and intervention for small children with autism and other developmental abnormalities, available locally at a family care centre in a multicultural borough, in this case Angered. The model has shown health economic gains such as; increased chance of reaching small children in need of examination and their families, continuity in the examination process, and individually planned intervention measures in close collaboration with parents and preschool. The operation based around a local multi-professional team will be made permanent as of 2017. Their work will be followed up with research studies.
