GPCC is a national interdisciplinary research centre at Gothenburg University. It was established in 2010 with the support of the Swedish Government's strategic investment in research (SFO).

At GPCC over 200 national and international researchers, clinics and patients and relatives/carers collaborate in various research projects and groups. They investigate person-centred care, rehabilitation and care in various medical conditions, as well as the organisation of person-centred care and issues regarding implementation and education. We also have several advisors, including a Person Council for patients and relatives.

We have evaluated the effects of a person-centred approach in a number of studies in different types of health care. Our studies have shown cost savings and positive effects for patients and staff.

Our vision is sustainable health through sustainable care: To prevent and reduce suffering, and strengthen the efficiency of health care through person-centred care.
