About Surgical Ward 2

Surgical Ward 2 is a general surgical care ward that is part of the Surgery and Orthopedics Department.

In 2020, we moved into some of Sweden's most modern ward buildings. The new ward has 28 patient beds in single rooms designed so that each team of nurses, nursing assistants, paramedics, and doctors has a good working environment with modern technology that provides excellent conditions for delivering safe, person-centered care together with patients and their relatives.

We primarily investigate and treat patients with acute surgical diseases in the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract, traumatic surgical injuries, and urological issues. We receive both acutely ill patients, patients coming for planned surgery, and patients needing palliative care.

We work in teams that collaborate closely with various healthcare professionals, and the ward has specialist knowledge in palliative care. We have a close collaboration with the pain team, mobile palliative team, dietitian, and local healthcare team.
