Make a Difference. Every Day.

Are you a specialist physician interested in working with us? We offer you a varied job and a good working climate in a small but driven workplace with about 35 engaged and positive employees. The medical group currently consists of eight doctors. We have specialists in general medicine, psychiatry, geriatrics, neurology, and rehabilitation medicine, with most doctors certified in cognitive medicine.

The area of operation (VO) cognitive medicine is Region Skåne's first staff-driven healthcare operation. This means that we have a manager and handle our allocated budget ourselves. The manager is supported by a management group with staff representatives and workplace meetings that function as advisory and decision-making bodies. All employees have the same job security as others within Region Skåne. The clinic's catchment area is the eight municipalities of northwestern Skåne.

The area of operation includes a cognitive clinic, which is one of five specialist units for the investigation of cognitive diseases in Region Skåne, as well as a consulting team for primary care regarding patients with severe BPSD (behavioral and psychological symptoms in cognitive disease). The staff is also involved in several different research projects and organizes training and lectures. The area of operation also includes the secretariat for a national quality register, the BPSD register. Soon, the operation will become a university hospital unit in collaboration with VO rehabilitation at Ängelholm Hospital.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking forward to welcoming another specialist physician to our clinic.

We have a dynamic operation with employees who contribute to development through their qualities and unique competencies. Together, we work to offer all our patients safe and accessible specialist care with a high-quality approach. You have great opportunities to influence and impact us based on your previous experiences. The clinic's main mission is to ensure extended cognitive medical investigations of high quality for individuals with persistent cognitive impairment where the basic investigation has not provided a clear etiology for the functional impairment. If there is suspicion of Lewy body disease, frontotemporal disease, younger individuals with mutations, or rapidly progressive cognitive impairment, an extended investigation should be offered within specialist care. The position includes consulting services via phone primarily for primary care colleagues.

QUALIFICATIONS

We welcome you who are a licensed physician with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare and have specialist competence in the relevant area for the position. Language skills in Swedish corresponding to at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe's level scale are a requirement. It is an advantage if you have experience working in the specialist area.

As a person, you are loyal and secure in your approach towards patients. Additionally, you have a positive attitude and take great responsibility for your tasks in an independent manner. The clinic serves individuals of various ages and backgrounds. For us, it is a given that you have a good demeanor, are easy to collaborate with, and enjoy working in a team. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
