Sammanfattning

This article describes the development, organisation and significant elements of an Umbrella Model, which has been demonstrated to support knowledge and practice development in a large Danish hospital department. The aim is to inspire, support and guide implementation of the Umbrella Model in other settings. A shared theme overarching several minor projects is the core of the model and is exemplified in three completed programmes: Young people with cancer, Relatives and the cancer patient’s social network and Future cancer care - short but high quality. Commitment is achieved through close dialogue, supervision and programmes dealing with local needs and complex problems in clinical practice. The model unites clinical and academic competencies, has produced new knowledge and developed nursing care, and it has directed nurse leaders’ attention to the pivotal role they play in supporting a learning environment.
