Together we develop Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future

We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading university hospital by 2032. Together with patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in Västra Götaland. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always the focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and effective care of the highest quality.

Currently, twelve employees work at the Plastic Surgery Clinic. A chief physician is attached to the clinic, and we have close collaboration with the Administrative Unit and also with Operation 6. The clinic's opening hours are weekdays from Monday to Friday.

Both adults and children come to the clinic for medical assessments or independent nursing consultations. We have an outpatient operating room where we perform surgeries daily. The clinic is also connected to a photography unit with two medical photographers. We also have two full-time employed psychologists.
