About the position

In our internal medicine department, we care for patients with nephrological and endocrinological diseases. We have both planned and acute admissions. Our nephrological focus is unique as we are the only department in Southern Stockholm that performs peritoneal dialysis. Therefore, you will gain specialized skills in performing peritoneal dialysis manually and with machines. Our patients may also require surgical interventions during their stay with us, which means you will also gain experience and knowledge in surgery and orthopedics. Our goal is to help and support individuals living with lifelong treatment and chronically ill patients to maintain or improve their quality of life. Our patient flow in endocrinology includes, among other things, patients with newly diagnosed diabetes or diabetics with complications such as diabetic foot ulcers or ketoacidosis. A cornerstone of our work is to collaborate in a team with the patient and their relatives to provide the best care with the patient in focus.

• Takes initiative, starts activities, and achieves results.
