Ward 3 is one of two inpatient wards within Vrinnevi Hospital's medical clinic. The ward specializes in lung and kidney medicine and hematology. In Ward 3, we care for everything from acutely ill patients to those with long-term and incurable conditions and patients receiving care at the end of life. Since last autumn, the specialist palliative care (LAH) has moved in with us in Ward 3.

We collaborate closely with the outreach service LAH, which provides care for specialist palliative patients at home. We are looking for someone who wants to help shape and develop the new specialist palliative care team with us.
