"We have been practicing sharply for 14 days," says Monique Holmgren, security manager at Region Uppsala, and refers to the material crisis that the health care system is in with canceled operations as a result.

Can you say that you have your own crisis exercise?

- Yes you could say that.

But this is about a major nuclear accident with 1,600 people exercising, where all the other Nordic countries are involved?

- I don't think we lose that much. The staff with functions such as security, communication, analysis and collaboration practice once a year. We also go up in staff quite often. We start from the same staff regardless of the event, then we supplement with expertise depending on what it is about, says Monique Holmgren.

Does not affect exercise

Nor does Janne Stangebye, exercise leader for the crisis exercise and defense director at the county administrative board in Uppsala county, believe that Region Uppsala's thrown-in towel will have a particularly significant impact.

- They will still be included as an opponent, he says.

In addition, Akademiska will participate in a decontamination exercise.

It became an extra dimension to the exercise; that an actor is already in crisis?

- Yes that's how it is.

You have worked a lot with difficult situations, what would you give the healthcare advice in this situation?

- To learn from what has happened so that it does not happen again, says Janne Stangebye.
