Region Uppsala places 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 persons whom the employer intends to employ or engage for patient-related work based on the fact that they may come to work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas that are covered by optional register extracts.
