Kompetensfrågor f ør omsorgspersonal har under något årtionde diskuterats på nationell myndighetsnivå och resulterat i att flera utvecklingsprojekt genomf ørts inom äldreomsorgen. Artikeln behandlar omsorgspersonals syn på kompetens inom några verksamheter i äldreomsorgen och kopplar samtidigt samman dessa uppfattningar med organisatoriska f ørutsättningar f ør lärande.
