Our Operations

Ward 101 E belongs to the department of ear, nose, and throat diseases. We are located in building 101 and conduct our operations in new, beautiful premises. The department consists of a day surgery part and a preoperative part, which provides conditions for a developing and varied everyday life.

The preoperative part is tasked with preparing patients for surgeries and examinations. The patients come from several different surgical departments, such as surgery, orthopedics, and urology, which provides a great variety of surgeries and treatments. The department's main patient flow consists of elective patients who will be operated on/treatment in the hospital's various operating departments, radiology, or outpatient clinics.

The day surgery part provides pre and postoperative care for patients within ear, nose, and throat surgery, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery. The patients you meet are both children and adults of all ages. There is a wide variety of procedures performed both under general anesthesia and local anesthesia. The department's primary goal is to deliver safe, properly prepared patients to the right operating department at the right time, as well as to offer good postoperative care. We have short hospital stays and work at a high pace at times.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that gender balance and diversity bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala will place all permanent staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be made regarding all individuals that the employer intends to employ or engage for patient-related work based on the possibility that they may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and adolescents, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are covered by optional register extracts. This applies to all who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not primarily intended to involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's management. We therefore kindly ask for no phone calls from recruitment companies and ad sellers.
