Cecilia has demonstrated absolute tenacity, skilled engagement and active leadership working across Sweden’s regional health systems. Her aim: to encourage increased connection with and use of SibeR and greater inter-regional collaboration to support continuous improvement, greater efficacy and further uptake of digital mental health solutions.
