Our Operations

The Neuropsychiatric Clinic for adults belongs to the section for addiction and neuropsychiatry. The unit is a specialist psychiatric outpatient clinic with the mission to investigate and treat moderate to severe ADHD and Tourette's syndrome. As a specialist clinic, it is also part of the mission to provide training and consultative support to healthcare neighbors. The clinic always focuses on the patient and strives to be at the forefront in both investigation and treatment of neuropsychiatric issues, aiming to offer our patients the best possible care. In recent years, the clinic has broadened its offerings with digital healthcare services, and today a large part of the visits take place via video. Collaboration and cooperation with healthcare neighbors, both internally and externally, is central to our patient group and is a natural part of the clinic's work.

Your Mission

As a nurse, you have a very important and central role at the clinic. Many of our patients have extensive difficulties that require competence regarding treatment and care. Planning and follow-up of pharmacological treatment together with doctors constitute a large part of the tasks as a nurse with us. The team consists, in addition to doctors, of social workers, occupational therapists, and psychologists, who together work to provide good and safe care for our patients. The clinic is in constant development based on, among other things, new national guidelines and the general goals of psychiatry to work based on care processes for different psychiatric conditions.

Here’s how some of our nurses describe their everyday life

"Working with neuropsychiatric patients is rewarding because the care efforts and treatments lead to improved well-being. The patient group is viewed from a holistic perspective, which means that teamwork is important."

"Despite great autonomy in structuring their work, there is a spirit of solidarity in the nursing group where we consult and help each other when needed.”

"The best part of working as a nurse at the neuropsychiatric clinic is the flexibility, variety, and opportunities for development."
