The authors describe the health system in Slovenia, a part of which is the place and priorities of nursing care, and at the same time they discuss education of nurses, the transformation of which took place after the change of the political system.
Slovenia faces dilemmas and uncertainty in the development of health care but these do not differ from those encountered in most European countries. They include how to preserve health and social security in the light of a situation that will be marked by the problems of an ageing population, a related increase in chronic degenerative diseases, and growing needs and requirements for health care services. The Slovenian health care system remains relatively centralized and the self-governing communities still have limited responsibility. Privatization of health care delivery is taking place gradually in health centres and homes for elderly people.
Very few private, for profit hospitals exist in Slovenia, with no more than 50 beds in total (Albrecht et al. 2002 a, b). The nurse education system is now adapting to the EU systems, and education has to be adjusted to the European Credit Transfer System agreed by the Bologna Declaration (European Commission 1998).
