In today's health service, most work takes place in teams. Effective and efficient teamwork is essential to ensure quality in a specialized and complex health service. In 2018 to 2020, teachers in a Bachelor of Nursing Education took part in an implementation of the TeamSTEPPS team training program. The program emphasis to train and practice four essential teamwork skills; communication, leadership, situation monitoring and mutual support. This study aims to explore teachers' experiences of implementing a team training program for a cohort of nursing students. The study used a qualitative exploratory design. The sample consisted of 11 teachers in the bachelor's degree program in nursing, divided into three focus groups. An inductive content analysis was conducted. The analysis resulted in one overarching theme, "learning yourself in order to learn further". This was generated from two categories: Category 1) "Contributes to professional confidence", based on the three subcategories "useful in a professional formation process", "provides common language and understanding", and "challenges to guidance in both procedural training and team skills". Category 2) "Follow-up is of great importance", based on the two subcategories "opportunity to make your own choices as a teacher is important" and "implementation requires resources and training".
