After obtaining her degree and successfully accomplishing a probationary period at the Dr. Adolf Drolc Health Centre, Maribor she got a regular job in 2000 at the Dispansery for pre-school children. In the same year she continued her studies at the Faculty of Health Sciences where she graduated in 2004.

In 2002, on the initiative of the Clinical Centre of Ljubljana and the association »League against epilepsy in Slovenia«, and upon agreement of the Health Centre Maribor, she started professional specialisation in nursing patients with epilepsy in England. The title of this specialisation was "Advanced practice in epilepsy care". After returning home, on the basis of the achieved certificate and skills, she started educating people with epilepsy, their relatives, and the wider society.

Dr Aleš Fajmut

I finished my studies with Ph.D. in Physics in 2006 at the University of Maribor, where I have been working for 10 years; first as an Assistant and currently as an Assistant Professor. My pedagogical work comprised more than 10 different courses in General and Experimental Physics as well as Biophysics. Currently, as a vice-head of the Physics Department I am involved in several scientific projects and projects popularizing Physics. I am the author and co-author of lectures, lecture-notes, instructions for students and articles popularizing science. I work scientifically in the field of Theoretical Biophysics, Systems Biology and Mathematical Physiology. I study calcium-signal networks in smooth muscles and their contraction. Within my post doc education and research, I visited the Laboratory for Respiratory Cell-Physiology in Bordeaux and attended several Summer Schools on Biophysics. Results of my research have been published in renowned international scientific journals and presented with lectures and posters at several scientific conferences.

Dr Bojana Filej, RN, BSc, MSc, PhD is a senior lecturer, employed part time at College of Nursing Jesenice and at Faculty of health sciences, University of Maribor. She is a holder of the subject Organization of nursing and management. As a researcher she look in to management system of head nurses from health and social welfare institutions.

She was employed for many years in the Primary health care centre Maribor as a community nurse, as leader of the home health care unite and as assistant to general director for nursing care. She was also director of World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for primary health care nursing, which is still located at the Primary health care centre.

From 2001 to 2007 she was the president of the Chamber of nursing and midwifery of Slovenia and before ten years vice president. She was striving for the suitable legislation for nurses and nursing in Slovenia.

For her work she was rewarded with the “Golden sign” which is the highest reward for nurses in Slovenia and in 2008 she was pronounced as “International nurse” by the International League of humanists.
