Our Operations

Here in the orthopedic rehabilitation department, a dedicated team has had the privilege of starting a new department together. We work from a person-centered and rehabilitative approach, which is the basis for our interactions with patients as well as for the development of our operations. We are now looking for more colleagues who are passionate about teamwork with each patient's unique circumstances and personal goals in focus.

We are an inpatient department for patients with orthopedic diagnoses who have additional needs for care and rehabilitation after, for example, trauma, fractures, or prosthetic surgeries. The length of stay is usually between seven and ten days and is adapted to the patients' needs, and we have twelve beds in our department. Teamwork is central to the department, enabling a holistic view of the patient, individualized actions, and promoting patient safety. Together, we have daily check-ins in a team consisting of: nurses, nursing assistants, orthopedic surgeons, medical doctors, junior doctors, pharmacists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and social workers.

We focus on healthy work schedules and hours, developing team rounds, person-centered care, daily management, and more. We work to streamline discharges and actively collaborate with our colleagues in the rest of the hospital, the Academic Hospital, and in the municipality.
