SuPer’s Lähihoitaja online event is held every autumn. It focuses on the diverse work that practical nurses do as well as offering insights into working life. The event is open to everyone and completely free of charge. In Finnish.
Each autumn, SuPer visits social and health care colleges across Finland. The tour offers e.g. lectures on professional ethics and the rules of working life, prize draws and super‑cool SuPer giveaways.
