Our Operations

The surgical department is an elective care unit focused on orthopedics, general surgery, and urology. We have twelve beds in the department with quick patient turnover (patients are operated on one day and usually go home the next). We value a good psychosocial work environment where there should be an open climate and regularly work on improvements in this area.

Teamwork is central to the department, enabling a holistic view of the patient, individualized measures, and promoting patient safety. The team consists of nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, department doctors, and operators in various diagnoses.

Your Mission

The department has typical tasks for junior doctors in an inpatient department, primarily focusing on orthopedic care, but also includes surgical, urological, and gynecological patients. As a junior doctor in the department, you are expected to be the central person for ward rounds and a cohesive link in patient care in consultation with senior doctors and nurses. We focus on good working methods with developing rounds, person-centered care, daily management, etc.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone who:

• has obtained a medical degree.
• is interested in working in a surgical specialty ward with a focus on orthopedics, in collaboration with senior doctors and the team.

Clinical experience as a substitute doctor is considered an asset. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
