Vacant job

We are a department with 12 care places and about twenty-five employees who, together with the clinic, provide internal medicine around the clock to the population in the western part of the region.

Our common focus is to offer emergency medical care with good patient safety and a positive approach.

At Cardiology, we work in teams closely with the patient at the center. A nurse from cardiology says: “There is something special about working with the heart. Every day I get to meet a grateful patient group who are often very motivated to get better.” We have an open work climate with a good community that contributes to a sense of security when the pace can vary.
