Make a difference. Every day.

The operation is organizationally part of Close Care and Health, Mobile Teams, and Specialized Palliative Care in southwestern Skåne. ASIH offers specialized palliative care and other advanced medical care at home, to patients of all ages residing in Malmö's catchment area. Care is provided in the patients' own homes or in special accommodations.

The patient's needs guide the visits; we perform medical and nursing assessments and actions. We work independently but are part of interdisciplinary teams consisting of doctors, nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nursing assistants, dietitians, and medical secretaries. We have our own emergency line, and the team's doctors are available around the clock.

ASIH has full medical responsibility for enrolled patients and works with holistic, person-centered care, which is a prerequisite for providing dignified care at the end of life. ASIH is responsible for specialized care but collaborates with home healthcare when needed and home care for basic nursing. ASIH is currently divided into two teams and currently has a total of 50 care places. In addition, we have an outpatient team consisting of a palliative reception and a point intervention team that provides point interventions for patients who are not enrolled in ASIH.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The patients enrolled in the operation have a need for specialized palliative care, which means they have a complex symptom picture or that their life situation entails special needs. This can involve everything from injections, infusions, medication pumps, catheter placements, ascitic tapping, oxygen, and dressings to supportive conversations, family support, or assistance in contact with authorities, etc.

After planned patient visits, afternoons are used for documentation, reflection rounds, team supervision, individual reflection, and development work. Additionally, handover to those working the evening shift and planning for the next day. Those working the evening shift then have a number of planned patient visits and are responsible for any emergency visits. ASIH's phone is open 24/7, and we constantly assess and make any visits to patients who need it. In addition to daily work, you as a nurse will have admission conversations with doctors, be involved in assessments for potential admissions, and continuously work with family and bereavement support. We work both day, evening, and night shifts.

As a new nurse with us, you will receive at least four weeks of shadowing; we follow an introduction program developed at the unit, and after the shadowing is completed, you will have mentorship where you receive support from a specialist nurse in palliative care, based on your needs. We value development work and further education for both new hires and experienced staff. ASIH has a close collaboration with the palliative care department, which has 14 care places for inpatient care. Additionally, we also collaborate with the hospital and various clinics.

Does it sound exciting? Come and shadow us and see how we translate theory into practice and provide high-quality, person-centered care daily.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare, preferably with a few years of professional experience.
